Storm chasers were in the right place at the right time as a tornado touched down Tuesday afternoon near Big Spring, Texas, outside of Midland.
The twister touched down in a field. No homes or people were in danger.
The event played out live on The Weather Channel, and viewers could see the tornado kicking up dust. Severe weather expert Dr. Greg Forbes said the tornado provided a "classic view" of these types of storms.
