In the Southern United States, the holiday season was marred by a series of devastating storms that tore through the area in December. Mississippi was particularly hard-hit.

A huge tornado carved a path through the state, destroying homes in at least six counties, injuring 40, and taking seven lives. The town of Como lost, at least, two private homes.

Dramatic video catches the storm as it travels across I-55 in Como. The drivers on the packed highway manage to remain calm and proceed bravely forward.

As this clip shows, though, one driver was caught in tornado's path. The panicking camera operator filmed the large semi-truck as the storm hit.

The tornado rolls the 40-ton vehicle over onto the side of the road. It's unclear whether the driver was injured in the incident. This stunning video is a testament to the awful power of nature, and a great reminder to prepare for tornadoes and other violent weather.
