The size of the tornado is likely two car lengths. Yet it still picks up cars with ease. One of the best tornado videos I've seen a while.

He's going to be (or already is?) a meteorologist, he's been around a lot longer than I have.

The funnier part is that is not a tornado, just a extremely strong dust devil that formed over a clear sky. :D

That is a tornado idiots, do you even know what tornadoes are and how they are formed? It grew and ended in a few seconds; it's still a tornado.
This guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
