Video: Tanker truck drives directly into Iowa tornado before winds flip another semi

The Iowa State Patrol said they received no reports of injuries from either of the drivers.

NEVADA, Iowa – An Iowa Department of Transportation camera caught terrifying moments Tuesday for two truck drivers near Nevada, Iowa, when both were swallowed by a tornado.

The first tractor-trailer appears to have seen the tornado heading across the highway, and had pulled over. As the traffic cam starts shaking from the strong wind and rain blurs the image, a tanker truck sails past the stopped tractor-trailer.

Ahead of it is the opaque gray swirling mass of the tornado. The tanker driver slams on the brakes. But the solid clouds take over the tanker, and soon its red taillights are gone.
