IT’S ONE THING watching footage of a tornado striking an area – it’s terrifying, of course, but you can only imagine the damage it is doing.
So spare a thought for the person who filmed this terrifying footage of an EF4 tornado as it touched down in Norman, Oklahoma.
There was major damage done to the local area when the twister hit, as an EF4 is the second-strongest type of tornado.
AFP reports that at least 13 people were injured when a tornado hit a mobile home park in Oklahoma.
Meanwhile, the Weather Channel said that at least 29 tornadoes had been reported across Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma.

In corner shop in Tooting with a NZ friend who wanted to buy clothes pegs, he asked the Pakistani shop owner if he had any, of course when he was saying pegs it sounded like pigs, so after asking several times for what sounded like closed pigs and my friend making gestures like he’s pegging something to a line the shop owner was getting visibly angry and nearly pushed him out of the shop while shouting in another language. My friend was totally confused until I told him it was his accent that caused the poor shop owner to nearly explode. I nearly burst my sides laughing
