Video of a truck being spun by a tornado then righting itself before being driven off went viral earlier this week after storms touched down in Texas and Oklahoma.
In case you missed the video, you can see it on Twitter or below.

KXAN caught up with the man who helped the driver, who was no doubt shaken by the event.
Ruben Briones said the man was “in shock. He was crying.”
The driver, whom police believe is in his late teens or 20s, only had minor injuries.
“He had a scrape or some cuts on his left arm,” Commander Aaron Crim told KXAN.
The truck, however, didn’t make it out of the storm unscathed.
The truck sustained many scratches and dents. Its rearview mirrors were ripped off and the windows were blown out.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: We tracked down the red pickup truck from the viral video that showed it flipping over in the Elgin tornado Monday.
