A man is counting his blessings after surviving a severe storm that left a trail of destruction in Houston and its nearby areas on Tuesday.Jeff Jones, who narrowly escaped with his life, recounted the harrowing experience that lasted around 45 seconds. As heavy rain and powerful winds ravaged the city, causing downed trees, flooded streets, and stranded vehicles, Jones faced the storm's wrath head-on.
The situation escalated to the truck lifting and sitting at a precarious 45-degree angle. "The scariest part was when it started to lift, and I had to think of exit plans," he said.Catching the attention of passers-by became his priority as he banged on his truck's window. It wasn't until a Good Samaritan saw him and intervened that Jones was rescued."You could see the guy hitting the windshield and the water was high. It had to been chest deep," Renee Young said.
