Enough to Sweep You Off Your Feet
A teenager from Missouri, USA literally flew 1,307ft after being hit by a tornado - possibly setting a new global record for unassisted flying. Ananova.com reports that Matt Suter had locked himself into his family trailer home when the pressure blew both doors out. He was then knocked out by a flying lamp and swept off his feet by 150mph winds. Fortunately for Matt, he missed the barbed wire and landed on soft green grass with only minor injuries; unfortunately he performed this flying feat in only his boxer shorts.
