(NewsNation) — An Oklahoma storm chaser was driving home with his daughter Saturday night when they were almost hit by a chunk of tornado debris.
Video footage taken by Jesse Rossi shows the moment he and his daughter, also a storm chaser, realized they were seeing a tornado.
“We got power flashes!” Rossi could be heard saying. Moments later, a chunk of debris can be seen falling in front of the vehicle.
“You didn’t see it until it was right on top of you,” Rossi recalled on “NewsNation Now.”
Rossi said that he hadn’t even been chasing the storm when the incident happened.
“I don’t chase at nighttime because you can’t see them,” he said.
Although he’s since tried to figure out what exactly hit the truck by slowing the video down, Rossi said he’s still not sure exactly what it was.
“It was a scary moment,” he said.
People in Oklahoma were still cleaning up Monday after storms flattened homes and buildings. There have been four people reported dead in the state, including an infant. Dozens of tornadoes wreaked havoc in other areas as well, including in Iowa, where one person was killed.
