While most Americans were safely going about their routine business over the weekend, others were stuck fighting for their lives as deadly tornadoes completely devastated Joplin, Missouri, leveling the town.
Among the survivors was William Lynch and his girlfriend who were driving in their full-size truck when they noticed the tornado, sending Lynch to park next to a nearby building to sit out the storm as it passed directly overhead, according to a Fox News report.

Lynch says that almost immediately a window blew out of his truck, prompting him to lay on top of his girlfriend to shield her from flying debris that ultimately gave him several lacerations. Once inside the actual tornado Lynch says all of the windows were blown out of the truck, with the entire truck then being picked up and dropped on top of another car.
