WASHINGTON – Stunning video shows the inside of a tornado that touched down in Kansas Monday.

Two storm chasers caught the video from inside a specialized tank-like vehicle called the “tornado intercept vehicle.”

The winds around them were 150 to 175 miles per hour before the tornado ripped off the instruments off the top of the vehicle, according to StormChasingVideo.com.
