Tornadoes and hurricanes have damaged large parts of the United States in recent days. At least 18 people have so far been confirmed dead as a result of the extreme weather, and several have had to flee their homes.

Nick Sortor, a journalist from Kentucky, finds himself in the middle of a drama. On Twitter, he said that a “huge tornado” knocked him off the road.

– I thought I was going to die when my car was picked up and knocked off the road by a massive tornado in Tennessee, Sortor wrote in a Twitter message.

Huge damage

He also shared three photos from the accident. There you can see that Sortor is bleeding from the forehead, and he is sitting inside what looks like a car wreck.

He also posted a photo of the car which was badly damaged and dented after the accident.

It seems that the journalists have documented the accident well. In his Twitter message, he wrote that he also has a movie he can share later.

Many sent Sortor words of support during the Twitter message, including former Donald Trump attorney and adviser Rudy Giuliani.

– I am glad that you are alive, Giuliani wrote to Sortor.

– Destroyed

In Tennessee, where Sortor was hit by a tornado, at least seven people died.

– My jeep was destroyed, but that pales in comparison to the lives that were lost here, Sortor wrote in a post.

At the same time, he is grateful for the support he received after the accident.

– I really appreciate the support. It means more than you think, he wrote.
