Video: Tornado Hits Ambulance

This tornado is barely visible through the rain, but it was rated an EF3
with winds of 159 mph or so. It hit last week in Franklin
County, Virginia. Video in this post shows an ambulance
being hit by the twister

There were a number of tornadoes in the Southeast last Friday.  As is often the case especially with twisters in the East, this one was wrapped in rain, nearly impossible to see.

Until it is too late.

Such was the case when two paramedics in an ambulance encountered an EF-3 tornado in Franklin County, Virginia. You can see in the video below how quickly things escalated.

The back window of the ambulance blew out, filling the vehicle with debris. Thankfully, the paramedics weren't hurt. There wasn't any patients in the ambulance at the time.

The ambulance was obviously knocked out of commission, but the pair did rescue another motorist who had gotten caught in the twister. Another ambulance came, got tht guy to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Here's the video:
