Tornado forming on Connecticut River filmed from high rise

[gary]

A one minute 30 second video clip filmed from a high rise building in Springfield,
Massachusetts graphically shows the formation of a tornado on the Connecticut River.

Using the road bridges as a reference, once can get some sense of the scale of the
power and speed of the winds as they sweep across the river.
