Funnel Cloud Touches Down in Central Texas Amid Tornado Warnings

A funnel cloud was spotted twisting to the ground in central Texas on April 26, as the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a tornado warning for the area.

Peyton Pogue recorded this footage on Highway 6, and said spotting the funnel was a “great experience.”

“Most definitely an adrenaline rush,” he said. "It is most definitely [something] that I will continue to find interest in.”
