Amid the damage caused by a tornado in Texas, a beautiful Chevy C3 Corvette was spotted buried in the rubble.

One town affected by recent tornadoes was Lubbock, where 20 tornadoes ripped through the town after passing over from New Mexico.

This has left more than 10,000 people without power.

Caught up in the damage was a Chevy C3 Corvette, which seemingly survived a building’s collapse.

Natural disasters can wreak a lot of havoc and cause tons of devastation.

Even in circumstances where people escape without physical harm, their possessions can often end up damaged.

Cars are included in this, too.

We’ve seen tornadoes flip over Chevy trucks with ease, and thousands of cars left ruined by hurricanes.

But with the stories of devastation comes those of resilience, too.

One group of YouTubers fixed a 1967 Chevy Corvette damaged by Hurricane Helene.

And in another remarkable case, an Audi R8, which survived a hurricane, was driven up to the Arctic.

Cars can often surprise us with how sturdy they are.

And that has been shown yet again with the recent tornadoes that hit the West Texas town of Lubbock.

At least 20 ripped into the town after passing over from New Mexico.

More than 10,000 residents were left without power, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported.

Mireya Villarreal, an ABC News reporter, was sent to the town to report on the situation.

“You can see the damage left behind by those storms,” she said, standing in front of a toppled building.

Although she didn’t address it directly, there was a car sitting behind her in the remains of the building.

It was a Chevy C3 Corvette, which had some rubble lying on top of it.

Obviously, a car wasn’t going to be the primary focus for a national news channel.

From what we can see of it, it doesn’t look too badly damaged.

What looks like a door frame is lying along the top of it, but that appears to be the extent of the damage.

Whether or not this car will run again is unclear.

The Corvette’s cameo didn’t go unnoticed, as some people commented on it on ABC News‘ YouTube channel.

“Bet the owner of that Corvette is unhappy,” one person commented.

“Corvette! What is this, a Con Air movie?” another asked.

You may recall that the Corvette in the 1997 movie didn’t survive the film’s running time.

At any rate, hopefully, the people in Lubbock recover quickly, and things get back to normal as quickly as possible.
