This is the dramatic moment tornado damage was seen from the air in Guthrie, Missouri.

A line of severe storms moved through Callaway County, producing a brief tornado touchdown northwest of New Bloomfield, impacting the region on Easter Sunday, April 20.

Deputies arrived on the scene shortly after the weather system passed. They located one individual with minor injuries, who was then treated by EMS personnel.

Footage shows the widespread devastation caused by the freak twister, with uprooted trees and damaged properties.

Neighbours and volunteers worked together to clear debris and search for lost items.

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground, often appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud. Tornadoes can cause significant damage due to their intense winds, which can reach speeds over 300 mph, making them one of the most destructive weather phenomena.
