Recorded in Utah, the US, at one point lightening even dramatically crackles through the sky.

The winds even manage to bend power poles onto the road as vehicles try to escape the carnage and thunderstorms.

The footage was recorded in Layton, Utah, on Thursday by local man James Stimpson as he drove home from work.

Posting it online, he wrote: "I was driving home from work, and the weather was getting really windy and rainy.

"Out of nowhere, dark grey clouds rolled in and the tornado winds hit.

"Just beyond the blown heap of metal, you can see school children crowded behind an SUV with the crossing guard for safety.

"Fortunately, nobody was injured. It took a team of 5 guys to lift the giant pieces of heavy metal."

The footage was recorded on a dashcam camera
