Security camera footage captured strong winds lifting a car clear off the ground in Hamburg, New York, on Thursday, before setting it back down in a new position.

The National Weather Service confirmed that an EF-2 tornado touched down in Hamburg at the time. The tornado's maximum wind speed reached up to 105 mph. No fatalities or injuries have been connected to the weather event, according to NWS

This poor car getting tossed around like a tricycle is simply another example of the incredible powers of Mother Nature.

Another angle of the incident shows what appears to be a funnel quickly moving through the neighborhood as the car is briefly lifted off the ground.

UPDATED July 20, 2016, 6:40 p.m. PT to include National Weather Service's confirmation of the tornado's touchdown.
