Video: Terrifying close-up footage of the tornado in Oklahoma last night

A deadly tornado wreaked havoc near Oklahoma City last night and storm chaser Brandon Sullivan managed to catch some absolutely terrifying footage of it from close quarters.

Early reports suggest that at least five people were killed and at least 50 injured as a result of the terrifying tornado that hit the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area yesterday, less than a fortnight after the massive tornado which devastated the town of Moore near Oklahoma last month.

Storm chaser Brandon Sullivan and his colleague Brett Wright got caught up in the tornado and between the shots of the front of the vehicle in which they were travelling and the shots of the damage being caused by the tornado outside, it gives a frightening glimpse into just how potent it was.

Our thoughts go out to those affected.
