I did that in a 68 Opel Kadette Rally back when I was in college. Drive into a bad thunderstorm in the Wichita Mts. Then like driving into the eye of a hurricane, sky was clear, wind was calm. Told my wife, “Wow, look at that big dust devil”. I drove through it as it crossed the road. Tossed us around a bit, then I was through it. I don’t know if God looks after idiots all the time, but he did that day. Must have been an EF0 or less, although it did do some damage to some boathouses at Robertsons Landing.

There are boathouses in the Wichitas?

I'll bet you a 30 pack of Miller Light the driver is undocumented, speaks no English, doesn't listen to English weather reports, and likely had never experienced an actual tornado before and didn't have the slightest idea what he was driving into.

Anyone want the other side of that?
