Two storm chasers killed in that second one in Oklahoma.  Story in that second photo's main link. They say you should not stay in your vehicle but seek shelter in a ditch or something.  What thing, I don't know.

There are several videos showing complete airborne vehicles swirling around near the funnel.

Pic credits in properties.  "Airborne" in its true technical sense.

Another storm chaser truck in situ.  One hopes it stays in situ.
