While thankfully, no injuries were reported, a possible small, but fierce tornado was caught on camera flipping over a mail truck driving along Plumbrook Drive in southwest Houston.

The video is among several viewers shared of what appeared to be tornadoes across Southeast Texas including Liberty County and one possible tornado crossing Lake Houston.
Security cameras also captured the driver climbing out. Neighbors tell KPRC 2′s Gage Goulding he is OK, though. Efforts have been made to locate and hear from the driver.
‼️DO YOU KNOW THIS GUY?‼️ Houston! Please help me find this guy. He's a post office mail carrier who was driving a mail truck that flipped over during Thursday's storm in SW Houston.
