Tornado Footage Captured by a Drone Chasing It

I've always had a thing for storms, and in particular, tornadoes.
Growing up in New York, and now living in California, I don't have many opportunities to see tornadoes, let alone photograph them.
Yesterday, Brandon Clement, a storm chaser from WxChasing, not only filmed a tornado roaring across the prairie near Sulphur, Oklahoma, but he also chased it with his 4K camera drone (and did a masterful job of piloting the drone in adverse conditions, I might add).
But in Tornado Alley, photographers and videographers have plenty of chances to see these monster storms up close and personal.
The video above is the result of his efforts, and I have to say, it brings back all the feels of watching Twister for the first time back in the day.
It's less than four minutes long, but it's packed with excitement (all in 4K too!) that's well worth a few minutes of your life.
