    Both of them had plenty of room to flip around in that intersection and high tail it back away from from the funnel, although I don't think the tanker guy had a clue what was going on.

    Me and Pop just watched one form right in front of the shop, but it didn't touch down.

    The scary part was my son is camping about 30 miles to the east directly in the path of the storm. I called to warn him, but he already ditched the tent and was hanging out in the campsite bathroom. At least it's a concrete and steel structure.

    First ever camping trip he took his girlfriend on. He said it might be her last after this, but they're fine.

    Unfortunately in addition to residents of Greenfield,Iowa who were affected by a tornado a storm chaser was caught and killed by one as well.

    I know. The last time storm chasers were killed was back in 2013 by the monster tornado that hit El Reno,Oklahoma.
