I saw this tornado in real time on a live stream from another chaser at tornadovideos.net but had no idea it had done this kind of damage until I came across the reports from Severe Studios. Amazing footage from such close range.

Great footage, has anyone estimated the strength of such a tornado? Mother nature can be so cruel.
