Tornado touches down at Southlands. Captured from my front porch!

I was working on my backyard yesterday and watched the tornado that touched down at Southlands Plaza form from nothing. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. My son and I were watching the clouds swirl and I thought "wow, that would be crazy if this turned into a tornado!" No more than 5 minutes later we were watching a funnel come out of the sky. My buddy took a video of the tornado forming and he sent it to 7 News. They ended up playing the video on-air.

Here are some pictures from the tornado. Southlands Plaza is about a mile from my house and these are screenshots from a video I took. These shots are looking right off my front porch. We had golf ball and baseball size hail and overall it was an exhilarating experience. I posted the videos on youtube so if anyone is interested in seeing them I'll send you a link.
