A storm chaser recorded video of a tornado forming directly in front of his vehicle in central Nebraska on Sunday.

The recording shows the tornado beginning as a narrow condensation funnel that rapidly widened. The chaser remained stationary while filming the formation sequence from start to visible structure. The video has circulated on social media platforms and local news outlets since the event. No damage reports or injuries have been linked to this specific tornado at this time.
The tornado formed amid broader severe weather conditions that included additional storm cells across Nebraska and neighboring states. Forecasters had issued warnings for the region earlier in the day. The outbreak is expected to continue through the week with additional severe storm potential across the central United States.
