A wild video, filmed in Texas, U.S., on Monday, shows a pickup truck being tossed and dragged around by a tornado with at least one person inside. But that's not the crazy part. After being flipped a couple of times on the highway, the vehicle lands upright and continues to drive away like nothing happened.

The incredible moment was caught on camera by Brian Emfinger, a storm chaser who published the video to Twitter and YouTube on Tuesday.
The pickup truck is caught in the tornado and faces the full force of its winds, causing the vehicle to roll over on the driver's side. It does a 360-degree spin, quite literally, before being pushed back upright by the tornado's gusty winds. Despite being almost blown away, the driver has no trouble continuing down the road.
The weather has continued to deteriorate in the South Central region of the U.S. - with multiple tornadoes ripping through parts of Texas and Oklahoma, causing injuries and widespread damage in areas near Austin and Dallas.
Severe thunderstorms with reports of possible tornadoes spread damage across parts of North Texas on Monday, injuring at least four people, the Associated Press reported.
