Huge Tornado

One of the most awesome and destructive forces of nature is a tornado. You definitely don't want to be caught in the path of one of these behemoths of wind and power. Most of us are lucky enough not to have been too close to one. But now we will bring you a look at a particularly huge tornado in our video this week.

A tornado is a huge twisting column of air that is in contact with the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most well known kind comes in the shape of a funnel with the narrow end closest to the ground, and with debris of all kinds flying around it.

Tornadoes have occurred on every continent in the world, though they are most common in the mid-west section of the United States. They are scary when seen up close, but they can be beautiful when seen from a distance. Our video shows the formation of a very huge tornado. Let's take a look.
