Hugo Parra has been labeled the "Gas Station Angel" of the deadly Valley View, TX tornado after he led nearly 100 people to safety inside a Shell Gas Station nearly two weeks ago. Everyone survived sheltering inside the bathroom and Hugo along with his son and daughter joined FOX Weather to talk about the experience. #foxweather #texas #tornado

It's incredible that anyone survived that tornado there! That gas station was destroyed! 🙏🙏

Wow! I heard about Mr. Hugo Para’s story directly after the tornado, but I’m also very impressed to hear about Rafael Para. He is also definitely a hero for helping get the door open to let that family inside, surely they would have died if they were caught outside.

I saw the video of the tornado going through that gas station. Such force it had and it's a miracle no one was hurt. God placed a hedge of protection around them.

Unbelievable they pulled it off and made it through in a bathroom against that monster tornado

It reminded me a bit of the QuikTrip gas station story from the Joplin EF5, where everyone was able to survive in the beer cooler of the gas station even though it was otherwise completely destroyed. Obviously that was a stronger tornado, though I’m not sure what the damage was rated at that particular tornado, but this was also a larger truck stop type place so I would think it would be a stronger building. I was watching weather livestreams and radar during the event and remember hearing there were 100+ people trapped in a gas station, it’s amazing everyone survived. I drove down that highway 2 days after the tornado, I was on the opposite side of the highway so I only caught a glimpse of the gas station, but driving through the damage path even 36-48 hours later was pretty incredible. Probably the worst tornado damage I have ever seen in person, and I didn’t even see (thankfully) the worst of the damage in Valley View or Celina.

@@andrewc6778 Think a lot of people learned to hide in either the bathroom or coolers of gas stations ever since Joplin in 2011. That thing was a monster. Remember that killer storm quite well.
