WICHITA, KANSAS (GaeaTimes.com)- The state of Kansas came under a huge number of tornadoes affecting the state all over, some being dangerous enough to cause considerable damage all over the state. The weather service received numerous reports of such tornadoes hitting various regions of the state. In fact, according to the reports, one of the tornadoes turned out to be strong enough to overturn a three semis in El Dorado, and also toppled the power lines, plunging the city into darkness, and forcing the authorities to close down the Kansas Turnpike that is located just west of El Dorado. However, one of the most horrifying an unique reports came from a man who actually survived the twister, despite being carried away by it.
Reports state that the man, who has been identified by the police department as David Harville, had been riding his semi-truck, about 20 miles away from Oklahoma City, when it seemed to him that the storm just took him off, up and above the ground. He reported later that it seemed to him at that moment that the dust under his feet had just raised itself up vertically to a great height. However, thankfully, just before the tornado lifted him and hos truck up, he had slammed to a stop.
However, once he got to get a grasp of what was happening to him, David Harville felt truly scared, knowing that at any point of time he might just be killed. Thankfully, though, the tornado carried him for only about twenty miles, and then he was brought back to earth. Or rather, dropped. However, he avoided any serious injuries, miraculously, although he was inside the truck when it landed on its side.
