A pickup truck was wrapped around this utility pole by the extreme winds from the Moore, Oklahoma tornado which occurred on 1999-05-03. The truck was then pummelled by winds which exceeded 200 mph (320 km/h), stripping most of the sheet metal off the truck. The F5 tornado was one of the most severe ever observed, and destroyed more than 1500 homes, killing 36 people.
