This looks to be a relatively small twister and only a glancing blow to the cars, so imagine if it had been a big one and a direct hit, those cars would be gone. Remember kids, if you see an approaching funnel cloud, find a ditch or culvert to hide in (assuming you can't find a building or a shelter), because you might be accompanying your car to another part of the county.
