Watch this video and see the terrifying birth of a tornado captured by a building surveillance video. I am not sure what I would do in this situation, but praying would be at the top of the list. Searching for a clean pair of underwear would be next.

Emergency preparedness items here.

Surveillance video from a camera atop a Union street car wash building vividly shows you the frightening close up pictures of the first twister churning into the South End of the city late Wednesday afternoon.

Dave Del Veccio provided 22News with this terrifying reminder of a Tornado’s force. This is the funnel that instantly tore off the South End community center roof as well as causing unparalleled damage to Springfield and later on to many Springfield area communities.
