Want to come along on a virtual storm chase? We captured some insane footage over the summer.
We mounted an 8K 360° camera on the roof of our storm-chasing truck and captured the tornado that hit a farm in Henry, South Dakota, on July 27th, 2025.
The footage shows the tornado right after it formed, and then moved to obliterate a farm, and then moved off to the south.
