This video captures a severe tornado in Lancaster County. The footage includes the tornado itself, as well as the resulting damage. The storm was part of a tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service, which indicated a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado and golf ball size hail. The storm moved north at 50 mph, causing significant damage to structures and trees in its path. The video was taken from the 1440 Carlos Dr.
