Big tornado north of Morton, Texas a short time ago. Was able to capture when it first touched down as a large cone and then a wedge before getting wrapped in rain, as seen in this shot. W/ @NStewCBS2 #txwx pic.twitter.com/69hl71jV7u

That thing is enormous. I have no idea how storm chasers do what they do. Luckily none of the trucks chasing it got flipped like the one we saw in March.
We couldn't find any reports of destruction as a result of this massive tornado, so we hope everyone in the vicinity wound up being OK.
