The tornado you are watching take shape would eventually become a mile wide. It would sweep through the town of Moore, Oklahoma, leveling everything in its path and killing at least 24 people. But before all that, one man sat in a parking lot and filmed its inception.Charles Cook, an Oklahoma resident, happened to be training his smart phone on the gathering storm. His son posted the video to Reddit, where he describes how he got this footage:"He was out that way for work today and just happened to be in the right place at the right time. He was worried it was going to come back at him and was searching for a way to scoot out it's way once he was able to gauge how insanely close it was to him. He hung in there, though. Unbelievable."Yep. After it formed, this footage documents the behemoth tornado would eventually turn into—which didn't stop people from chasing after it.And this is the aftermath it left in its wake.Tragic, total destruction.
