You HAVE to the check out this video here by clicking this link. Storm chaser Andy Gabrielson filmed this tornado in Wilkin county, Minnesota at very close range as it formed in front of him on Saturday. The tornado rips apart a home right in front of his eyes. You can even hear Andy scream, “Oh, no, no, no, no no!” Andy apparently was also hit with glass in his back. This tornado has been rated an EF-3 tornado with winds of up to 165 MPH. The National Weather Service may upgrade it further after it investigates the damage.
With the advent of cell phones that can take pictures and videos, and the development of better quality hand held video cameras, extreme weather like this can be broadcasted to more people around the world via the ever expanding internet.
