Nappanee, Indiana – A video recorded by Michael Connolly Thomas on October 18, 2025, captures a sudden landspout tornado forming over open farmland near Nappanee.

Filmed from a moving SUV, the footage shows a dark, turbulent cumulonimbus cloud lowering a twisting funnel that reaches the ground in golden wheat fields.

Dust swirls violently as the funnel passes near barns, silos, and scattered trees, framed by a haunting gray Midwestern sky.

No visible damage or people appear in the scene, only the stark isolation of the plains under the storm’s eerie calm.
