Not even counting the gorgeous, orange backdrop amid the scene, the magnificent sight of this big, cranking, mature tornado (around 8:00) is breathtaking. Great catch, Dan.

    What's "incredible" is the beautiful backlighting. The tornado itself is almost sedate, meandering slowly across a field, not bothering anyone. At least in the segment shown. Maybe what's missing (thankfully) is a hysterical chaser screaming "Violent tornado! Ohmygod! I see debris! Power flash!" This one speaks for itself.
