Trains and tronados don't mix

[Rocky]

This is wild. watch the trees in the background. Here is something you do not see too often.
This video came from a fellow who works for the RR as a train dispatcher.
Every once in a while he sends a cool video involving trains.  This is one of them.
Trains nowadays mount cameras in their cabs, facing forward and backward, the same way police cars do.
This video is a rear view camera.  This is video of a train that ran through a tornado.
First there is the normal rear view from the last of three engines, with the trees looking normal.
Then you begin to see rain, and then, halfway through the video the trees begin to sway violently . . . and then the "fun" begins.

Can you say ouch! 

I wonder how that works... if there is a tornado warning do they still run trying to getout of the area or do they stop them and hope for the best...

Wholly cow,that was scary amazing... I don't think "OUCH" covers it. Did anyone get hurt? That would be why you need to respect Mother Nature......
