This is quite simply the most chilling tornado footage ever shot. Details about this video are as of yet unknown but what is clear is that the man taping the tornado which flatly destroyed Washington, Illinois laying waste to over 1,000 homes earlier this week, and the rest of his family are probably the luckiest people alive today.

The darkness, the noises, the destruction the tornado inflicts on the poor guy’s house are all equally terrifying but the last few seconds of footage of the surrounding neighbourhood is the most shocking of all.
