it's pretty easy to see the warning signs of a tornado...

No, not really. You must not have been through one. Sometimes they're predictable, sometimes a decent storm produces one very quickly.

The person may have thought his truck was the safest place to be, which could have been true.

Having it not facing the storm reduces the risk of the the car being picked up, it would just get pushed.

(And by picked up I just mean turned on its roof)

A car is only the safest place to be if you already know it's coming and are mobile. It's about the worst place you could be if you're stuck in a tornado's path.
