A dramatic video shows a couple racing with their dogs to outrun a tornado in Texas, jumping into nearby ditchwater. 'Scariest moment of our life,' they said.
He said he knew there was a warning in the surrounding area but didn’t feel it was safe to drive out in the weather.
Zachary Peck-Chapman and his partner were forced to run from their RV to seek shelter during the tornadic storms in Orange, Texas. While it may be tempting to try and outrun a tornado, this is not a wise choice. A tornado’s path can change in an instant, sometimes switching directions at random. You could be driving away from a tornado when it suddenly charges down your path. The best course of action if you spot a tornado while driving is to pull over and seek shelter. If there are sturdy buildings around, enter one and go to its lowest level without windows.
