Video shows tornado toppling big rig on an Iowa highway

Traffic camera video captured the terrifying moment that a tornado blew over a big rig on an Iowa highway on Tuesday.

The video was captured shortly before 5 p.m. on May 21 on Highway 30 near Nevada, Iowa.

The video shows a stopped semi truck along the highway battered by violent winds and rain. The truck is passed by a tanker that appears to drive towards the storm. Finally, the wind pushes the semi truck over onto its side.

It isn’t clear whether either of the truck drivers were injured.

Take a look at the video below.
