"Grandpa tell us the story again of how you got tossed and drove off in the tornado". He will be telling this story forever. 💜❤
when he is my age 75, he will say ok kids it was this FS 5 tornado in the middle of the night..................
Crazy he only 16yrs old God was looking after him that day 🙏🏼
Come on Chevy...give this kid a High Country!!!
He getting a All Star Edition in cherry red. 2022 silverado LT. it’s confirmed
@@robertmendez60 Outstanding!
That'd be sick. It'd be in the family for decades
@Andrea Wylie yeah they tick alright
I got a lifter tick in my 2014 Silverado it’s not bad tho and it drives like new
@Andrea Wylie "Timex ain't got shit on a Chevrolet Silverado."
Lucky young man - He will be very successful in life, looking for a job in a tornado! Awesome
@Hank Hill meh he was probably a little stunned or freaked. Chill out bro
@Hank Hill he probably really needs the job! 🤔 It’s easy to criticize people that we don’t know.
@Hank Hill dude chill with the emojis did your son just show you how to use them
everyone leave Hank alone he has issues be respectful
Man should have kept that truck!!!!! That’s like a greatest home run ball
He was blessed and protected. Amazing that the truck uprighted and he could still drive.
He will be a successful person.
At his young age, he knew the importance of the job interview and went to it even though it was severe and dangerous weather. He will be the guy you can count on. That fast food place better hire him, not many kids have his ethics to make sure to attend the meeting no matter what.
If that fast food place doesn’t hire him, I’m sure another company will see his qualities and hire him.
Facts got my job last year cause my interview was during a bad snowstorm here all the other employees called in I got their I'm fwd car
It's a chevy truck they don't die easily
I know as a young man his truck being messed up hurt but as a mom myself I'll say we are thankful his truck was the only thing hurt that day and he's OK!! Took my breath watching this and finding its a young man I was doubly happy he was OK.
that man is a freaking legend.
That should be the new Chevy commercial. No bells and whistles. Just the truth. Like a Rock.
That would be the greatest commercial ever for Chevy!!
Damn that’s some good Chevrolet commercial haha survived a tornado and drove off Silverado!! And kept the kid safe!! Good thing Chevrolet gonna give him a new truck some good marketing
He got a new Silverado PU and news reports yesterday said that he got the Whataburger job!! Starts his new job Monday, 3/28/2022! God Bless you, man! Peace ✌️ and Love ❤️ from Dallas!!
Guy gets spun around like a top and then drives away like a boss. Amazing!
@Hank Hill you are a Salty clown.. 🤦♂️
Thank God he survived such a humble young man. Be Belssed
I’d want to keep the truck and keep driving it.
Those scratches have one wild story to tell.
Heck yes
I would want to keep the truck definitely wasn't totaled throw some windows in a new mirror a couple door handles and definitely would be a conversation starter without a doubt I wouldn't say stupidity either lack of experience possibly alittle common sence not realizing what he was driving into
@@supersport1986 Sometimes the insurance company don't give you the option.
@@ckmoore101 yeah I know I worked for a Body shop for 7 years never could quite figure the insurance company's out some of the things they would fix and some of the things they would total
@Hank Hill You must have a ton of those!
He thanked God, wise and grounded this young man! God definitely has plans for this kid’s life. Bless his heart, how scary for a new driver.
@Hank Hill Well aren’t you a ray of sunshine? He had come from a job interview and wanting to help his family. He didn’t get home in time for the storm. He handled it pretty well I’d say! I’d have passed out if it was me!
So if he had died then God’s plan was to kill him?
@@fsimguru Wow
@@sunnycharacter you said god had a plan for his life which is why I saved him, so if he had died would that also have been part of the plan? Explain your beliefs
@@fsimguru I believe as a Christian, that God has plans for all our lives…believers and unbelievers. His plan is for all to know Him and believe in His Son, Christ Jesus. So that whatever happens in our lifetime, be it death at an old age, or a short life, that we have a relationship with God. I feel that lives are spared at times because it is in those individuals’ lives that cause and causation is all in a bigger plan that we cannot comprehend. But that comes from faith. Down the road, that young man in the red truck may have the opportunities to help his family, have future children that may in turn influence the lives of others in positive ways. It is not God’s plan for His children to suffer. But it is His desire that we come to know Him and live our real life, an eternal life in Glory.
He should get all kinds of offers from the maker of that truck, touting how tough it was that it withstood a tornado and drove away like nothing happened. What more incentive would they need, the ad just wrote itself!
IAM happy that he is okay.
Whataburger for life
That is amazing
Nice guy, new job, new truck! WOW!
Amen brother ✝.. God got your back.. so does Chevrolet. Like a rock 💪👍💥🇺🇸
Ford owners 😶😶
I hope he gets a new truck from Chevy or Toyota 😉. He has a good head on his shoulders. While teen r out robbing and killing, this teen is trying to get a job and love and thinks about his family. May god bless him and his family and keep them safe always.
Just saw a update he picks up his new Chevy truck Saturday!!!
Awesome .
God Bless this young man!! He survived that deadly tornado and he drove away without a scratch!! That was a miracle!!! That makes me want to purchase a Chevy product!!! They are tornado tough!!!!
Awesome advertising idea !
They are made out of plastic now :(
What about starting a fundraiser for him an his family also furthering his education. Let's help him just like any other young man that's been in a life or death situation. Please bless this young man with so much more. How about two trucks one for his dad and the other for him so he can start his new job. Bless the world we all need it!
Chevy better give him a full ride scholar ship ti a school of his choosing plus a Silverado of his choosing
Or a Go Fund Me to buy a new truck
Bless his heart ♥️
He was blessed. Did not panic listening to him he was calm.
Chevy could use this as advertising. “Chevys are so good. You can even drive off from a tornado and still live, get yourself a Chevy now”
I smell a hard worker. I bet that was a work truck too, when he said it provided for him and his dad. That’s how my dad saw his truck, it carried lumber and other big stuff for jobs.
Maybe GM could feature him in a commercial. That should give him a good start at saving for college.
That's not his footage, I think that belongs to somebody else, and if GM wants to use it, they have to ask that person for it.
College?
@@ratherbfishing455 ... what is your point?
Greatest Chevy commercial I’ve seen
That's a good kid I hope they set him up in a new rig
damn is that how you get a new truck let m ego find a tornado LOLOLOLOL...nah seriously that look so scary i'm glad he made it out safe thank GOD
@Hank Hill dont be jealous guys you will have your time
Tornado: I am not going to kill you today, just gonna bring you some good luck.
So happy he thanked God for giving him another chance 😍
Glad y'all actually got to film the driver! Other news sources said they did and didn't lol
Whataburger should make him their main ad personality for selling their milkshakes.
The insurance company SHOULD have let this beautiful young man keep his truck! God Bless you Riley !! So thankful you were are okay, God is Good !!
Nice good to see that he’s ok been seeing these videos since the other day
This kid is my same age and he had more luck that I ever will get!!
ALL the GLORY to GOD almighty he is alive and Riley mentioned and thanked GOD too!
Thank God for life! God has something planned for this young man.
He deserves that job and a new truck... bless his sweet heart.
Great young man! Hope he gets a new truck and hope they can get their family truck back. Heck, it still runs! God bless.
Give him a job with weather people chasing tornado for real .
There was an angel for sure who protected this kid.. never forget that , you have been chosen from above for something great!
Riley is thankfully fine. What an inspiration. Whataburger got six figures publicity from these videos. Let's see what they do with that.
He almost got a job being a bouncer at heavens gate
What a ride!! I wish I had the money to buy this young man a truck! Chevrolet corp should get him one!!!
They're going to tomorrow in Fort Worth.
Thank God for saving this young man. I'm so happy he is alive and well. When I saw this on the news I told my sister that whoever is in that truck is a Christian or going to be living for God some day. God has a plan for everyone. What an awesome young man he seems to be! May God bless him always and his family! 🙏🙏😊
Aww. Bless you! I am happy for you.
So happy he’s well and getting a new truck. We all remember being 16.
Yes! Hook this young man up with a new truck... and one for his dad. Two trucks!
Bless him he gave God the GLORY I wish him luck
All the best to him. He deserved some good fortune after that mess.
Give Riley a new truck and let him get that job at Whataburger what a great kid goes out in a storm for a job interview wow 👍
He has a guardian angel watching over him ♥️ Do something amazing with your life to play it forward. God has big plans for you . Please help him eith a job and a new truck .God Bless all of you 🙏 ♥️
This is a double whammy for a good story with a great ending . This kid will be set for life . He spoke of his Father . That alone is a success story in today's world . Good luck brother . Gods your co- pilot .
God is good 🙏🏼
Blessings on Blessings!
A great kid. A great story. Hope great things come for him.
So I guess it's true then. Like a rock like a rock lol
I remember that ol Chevy commercial, 'Like a rock"👍
Even a tornado can't stop a Chevy truck.
This is the most Texas thing in Texas I’ve heard this week
Dude got a new job, a new ($48,000) truck and a $15,000 check
Plus an incredible friggin story he can tell for the rest of his life
Way to go, TAZ 🌪
Thanks God, this truck driver
survived. I have the same feelings for this young boy as I have for my 16 year
old son .I was really shocked when watching this but he is safe . That all.
That’s amazing! Gets a new truck now I’m going to go find me a tornado wish me luck!
Amen brother
Chevy should restore that truck for him and his family and give them a new one as well
I would hire him. Hess trooper not even a tornado will stop him from working. Needs to work for the post office.
Many blessings to you young man. God has great plans for you and your family.
Any word on when the Monterrey melt is coming back?
Chevy has got to be hunting this truck down with a vengeance. Somewhere they have Bob Seger kidnapped waiting to start the Like A Rock commercials again.
This story is so Texas.
He was in shock. It happens in extreme situations
Like a Rock. Wow.
I pray they give him a new one but most of all thank God your alive and well..
Bill Paxton is smiling down from Heaven.
Chevy should hire him to promote how the truck took a licking & kept on trucking.😅👍👍 Imo this young man was protected by God, Himself🙌🙏
Sergeant Dan: "Forrest, where are you going, there's a Tornado upon us."
Forrest: "I GOT TO SAVE BUBBAAAAAA!"
Chevrolet Trucks "Like A Rock"
I live in Oklahoma so I'm gonna keep my eye out for tornadoes I need to upgrade my 12 year old F150 .
All good news
Awesome hope he gets a truck
Young man had the right answer that God had him in his good graces. I respect you sir. And may your life be bountiful in success and healthy young man!!!
He is the real live Pecos Bill. Lassoing his tornado and riding it.
For those that don't know Pecos Bill is a fictional character from the Wild West. 🌪️ 🤠 💜
Come on Chevy bless this man!!!
Soon we will hear a George Strait song that says and the tornado boy rides away....
Damn Cuh 😞
if one has 9 lives he lost one here lucky guy!! and a story to tell for the rest of his life
I would have kept the truck. It is better than than a rabbits foot....lol
Wow - if it weren't for the chaser that videoed what happened - - -!
Roy Scheider: "We're going to need a bigger shelter."
I hope he gets the job!
Good For GM and the dealership stepping up
Chevy . Like a Rock! 👌
That tornado truck is worth some money. Just put it on display in as is condition. Inside of course.
Chevrolet even announced that they're giving him a new truck
Ya get a new chevy truck, but keep that old one...thats like Gold...LS engine 4L60E

That's awesome that would be a great story 😀 when GM gets him a Truck and a new Job thank goodness he's alive to tell the story
