TVNweather's Sean Schofer happened upon the remains:
The @weatherchannel vehicle just got thrown by tornado. We stopped to help & they are OK. @jimcantore twitter.com/SeanSchoferTVN…No word yet on whether or not anyone was actually in the car when the tornado struck, but thankfully everyone seems to be okay. Unlike, obviously, the car.
