The side cameras on a Tesla captured a tornado in the United States. According to the details, the tornado was recorded as it was passing over the car on Interstate 295 in Johnston, Rhode Island.

The exact date of the phenomenon captured was not known.

The video, widely shared on Twitter, showed debris on the roadway as the driver of the Tesla kept driving.

Shortly after, a tornado could be seen briefly passing over the car and traveling off the roadway.

According to The Associated Press, the rare Rhode Island tornado lifted a car off a highway Friday as severe weather swept already storm-weary New England, damaging homes, flooding roads and toppling trees.

Tornadoes were reported in several spots in Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts.

The National Weather Service said there were at least four tornadoes in the two states and it was investigating a potential fifth in eastern Connecticut.

No injuries were reported.

Firefighters rushed to help the startled motorist on Interstate 295 in Johnston and found her shaken but unharmed by the tornado, which lifted her car 10 feet off the highway, Johnston Fire Chief David Iannuccilli said.
