Large high base very photogenic tornado touched down between Clara City and Prinsburg, MN this evening.
The tornado was on the ground with weak rotation over farm fields and there was some small debris that could be seen spinning around the base of the tornado.
Footage starts out driving towards the tornado and then free handing the camera while calling the National Weather Service office to report the tornado on the ground. Footage continues with various cameras shooting timelapse of the storm motion.
