A semi truck was blown onto another vehicle during an intense storm that went through Middle Tennessee and the moment was caught on video.
"It happened so fast it was unexpected," said Roger Jones who captured the moment on video.
He was driving home in a storm when just feet away a heavy wind gust suddenly flipped a tractor trailer onto the roof of a nearby SUV.

"Ah man, it was terrible. The wind blowing all crazy like. I thought I was in the middle of a hurricane," said Jones.
It happened on south Church street just off of Interstate 24 in Murfreesboro Tuesday evening. Jones felt the storm pick-up; so he pulled out his cell phone.
"The video doesn't really justify how bad the wind was so I was freaking out" said Jones.
The big rig was empty, and with no cargo, the wind just grabbed the trailer like a big box balloon. Jones can be heard in the video using some colorful language reacting to what he's seeing.
"I just got caught up in the moment. The last thing I thought was the video would go viral. If I knew that, I would have watched my language a bit more," said Jones.
Much of the country has seen Jones amazing video. As he watched it with NewsChannel 5 he still marveled at the fact no one was injured.
"Absolutely, that was the best news of all," said Jones.
The weight of the trailer was fortunately not enough to completely collapse the roof of the SUV. Both the SUV driver and the driver of the truck escaped without injury.
