A Sonic Drive-In in Louisiana sustained extensive damage on Sunday after it was struck by a tornado in a dramatic moment captured on surveillance video.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post the twister touched down in near South Lafourche High School in Galliano, located about 70 miles southwest of New Orleans.
Video from a security camera at the Sonic Drive-In shows the moment the tornado neared the building, sending cars in the parking lot tumbling into a nearby grassy area.
Cars were apparently pushed into a field by the Galliano tornado. @FOX8NOLA @NOLAnews #lawx @spann pic.twitter.com/epFHJaWjgU
