    The tornado struck Silves, in the Algarve, at 13:38 (13:38 UTC) yesterday. This ballsy resident recorded the whole thing as it passed right over his apartment. Watch the roof of the stadium.



    Radar shot at the time.

    Brave/stupid depending on how you look at it, great clip either way, must be very rare to get a tornado that big around there. I actually stayed just outside Silves for a week a couple of years ago, that stadium is right in the town centre so the whole town must have taken a direct hit.

    What's more amazing is he wasn't saying "Oh God!" every 5 seconds like you normally see in these videos.
