From CNN:
As the debris flying in the air was being sucked into a tornado forming before Michelle Westfield’s eyes, it became clear there would be no escape if she drove her car forward on a road in St. Lucie County, Florida, last week. It would be a death sentence.
She slammed on the brakes, put her car in reverse and bolted backward as far as she could go – the entire time screaming and pounding on the horn on Winter Garden Parkway, a residential road in Lakewood Park last Wednesday. At that moment, a couple heard Westfield’s screams as they were outside taking videos of water pooling on the road. “I hear her scream ‘get in your house!’ and I was like, oh my God, this is bad,” Brandi Clarke told CNN affiliate WPEC.
