There was a massive windstorm going on one day as I was driving home with my mom following a large coal truck. Out of nowhere, the wind tore this power pole into three pieces, with a large middle one flying through the air. It was flying so effortlessly, like the several hundred pound post was a toothpick. It slammed into the coal truck and tore half of the cab off right in front of our eyes.
And the driver came out without a scratch. Had there been anyone in the passenger seat, they would have been a goner.
