On May 14th 2009, Matt Van Every leads Extreme Tornado Tours to within 100 feet to a violent tornado before they have to rapidly BACK UP! The video was shot 5 miles east of Kirksville, MO on SH11 by tour guest Blake Knapp. Large debris crashed all around them as it passed 50 feet behind a house.
My husband and I are in the red Chevy Blazer that is in front of the Extreme Tornado Tours' van.
We had no idea how close we were to the tornado until we saw this video the next day. It was so rain rapped and with the tree lined highway we were on, it made it very difficult to see the tornado until we saw the debris flying around us.

Very exciting and very intense.
