00:45
inside of the truck spinning around and that i that i survived that this video of riley has
00:52
gained the attention of people from across the country watching him being tossed around by
00:57
strong tornado winds before the truck miraculously whips back on its wheels and he drives off a scary
01:03
experience especially for a 16 year old boy everybody thinks i'm an adult but in reality i'm
01:10
a minor 16 year old that still goes to school he says that day he was on his way back from a job
01:16
interview at a water burger in elgin only 10 minutes away from his home when he encountered the
01:21
dangerous weather right when i was going to take the u-turn that's when the tornado got me and it
01:26
lifted up my truck lifted up and tossed around on its side my truck is gone thrown like a paper around
01:34
he made it out with only a few scratches on his arm the experience scared him so bad he didn't tell any of
01:40
his family exactly what happened to avoid worrying them riley admits he learned a lot from this
01:45
experience if there's going to be a bad weather and stay home no matter no matter what how important
01:51
the thing is to you stay home your life your life matters more and although he's still shaken up from
