Weatherman Jim Cantore isn't the only person to go nuts for freak weather, a US teen has become an online hit after flipping out over a tornado.
15-year-old Tyler Tubbs had been filming a hail storm in Pennsylvania when he spotted a funnel cloud which was approaching.But it's what he did next which made the teenager and his footage go viral
He started screaming hysterically about what he was seeing. "We got a twister, do you see that twister," he shouted. Speaking to he mom on the phone he then added, "It's right above us, Mom. It is HU-mongous. It's hailing golf balls."
The video then ends with the lad screaming "It landed! Oh my God -- tornado, tornado!" -- Luckily he wasn't hurt, but there was much structural damage in the area… not all of it was caused by his high-pitched screaming.
