Wallace Gammon and Will Bowlin, Lafayette residents from the golf course community believe that God was riding in their backseat as they attempted to travel home through Friday's tornado. The men had been to St. Thomas hospital to visit with Gammon's wife.

While driving through Gallatin near the Nissan dealership, the tornado hit, breaking out car windows and knocking over utility poles.

“You can not imagine what the wind sounded like,” said Bowlin. “I have never heard anything like it before and hope I never do again.”

The tornado ripped through the car and broke out all the windows except for the front windshield which was only cracked.

The high winds picked up the car and spun it around three times. Something very sharp came at the car making a hole in the passenger side back door, inches from the head of Bowlin.

A utility pole also broke and came across the roof of the car. Not only are all the windows gone, the car shows indentions from the pole and the guide wires.

Bowlin claimed the wind sucked Gammon from the car and he grabbed his legs and pulled him back inside the car.

Both men suffered cuts to their arms, back, neck and head. Gammon received stitches at Gallatin hospital.

“Why the pole did not kill us or the car did not turn over and kill us, I do not know,” said Gammon. “It just was not our time to go. We had God in the back seat with us, I know we did.”

“We certainly did,” said Bowlin.
