Kenosha, Wisconsin – Video filmed by X user TucsonBeast shows a powerful rotating funnel cloud dropping from a large, dark storm system over a rain-soaked commercial parking lot.

Thick, violent gray clouds swirl across the sky as a clearly visible tornado forms in the distance under severe, unstable weather. Wet pavement reflects the storm and streetlights, intensifying the dramatic scene. In the foreground, a white pickup truck and a long wooden flatbed trailer remain parked, while a person dressed in dark clothing stands near the trailer observing the approaching storm. Trees, utility poles, a small bus shelter, and distant homes line the background.
