“It was awful” | Grandma from Pasadena survives a tornado in an SUV with her daughter and grandson

PASADENA, Texas. A new dashcam video of Tuesday’s tornado shows the heartbreaking moments a grandmother, her daughter and grandson spent trapped in their car as the tornado passed.

On Tuesday, the three were in Irma Cantu’s Land Cruiser SUV near Pasadena High School when they were unable to move on.

“I just looked around: we had nowhere to go,” Cantu said. “So I just parked the car and put on the emergency brake.”

Then things got noisier as the tornado got closer.

“I felt like things were constantly hitting my car,” Cantu said. – It was terrible”.

As the tornado approached, Cantu’s daughter began to pray.

However, Cantu seemed to remain calm.

“I think you either panic or you don’t,” Cantu said. “No matter what happened, I knew that we would be all right, no matter what happened.”

In the end, everyone was fine. Their vehicle? Not so much.

We asked Canta if she would do anything differently if she got caught in a tornado again.

“Definitely in advance, when I see these warnings, you know, I will definitely advise my daughter not to send her son to school,” Cantu said. “I wouldn’t leave the house.”
