Watch: Couple Records Tornado Suck Up, Hurl Truck Into Field

MOUNTAINBURG, AR — An Arkansas couple is thanking God — and seatbelts — after a tornado swept away their truck and brand new camper. Savannah Boerjan said she and her husband had just bought a new 31-foot camper that they attached to their truck and were heading home on Friday when the clouds overhead began moving. Rapidly.

Intrigued, she pulled out her phone to take some pictures. They looked pretty, she thought.

"Little did I know how fast this would turn from pretty to scary! We thought we were in the clear. Then we passed the hill and saw it," she wrote in a post on Facebook.

It, meaning a tornado. The couple couldn't stop, reverse or turn around with the massive camper, so they kept going.

"Holy f----, Brandon speed up, get out of here," Savannah Boerjan says in a video. "Oh my God, babe, it's right on f---ing top of us. Oh s---."

As the tornado approaches alarm bells go off.

"Brandon, Brandon, I'm scared!" she screams. The twister catches them, sucking them up from behind.

"It's right there, oh my God. Dear God, heaven please forgive me for my sins. Brandon, we're going to die. I love you, I love you!" Savannah Boerjan screams, as the car windows shatter and the video cuts off.

The camper and truck were tossed across the interstate, she said. They landed in a ditch.

Photos show the truck lying upside down on its roof. Pieces of the camper lay strewn across a field, nothing more than a pile of debris.

As for the Boerjan's, they somehow suffered only minor injuries.

"My shoulder is a little sore but nothing seems to be seriously injured," she says. "Brandon Boerjan honestly doesn’t have a scratch today, just some soreness."

They had a little bit of advice for others. Wear your seatbelts.

"Seatbelts helped save our lives," she wrote. "We wouldn’t be here if we weren’t wearing them."
