Storm chasers got up close and personal with a tornado that touched down in Texas on Thursday (March 2).
Brad Arnold captured the video that was shared by The Weather Channel that shows storm chasers driving down a road in Winnsboro, which is located about 100 miles east of Dallas. In the video, debris could be seen swirling above the "fast-moving tornado." It's unclear how much damage the tornado did at this time, the news outlet said.
