A large tornado moved dangerously close to Dodge City, Kansas, on Tuesday afternoon, tracking just west of the center of the city.
The severe thunderstorm responsible for the twister was so powerful that when it was at its strongest, it was producing multiple tornadoes at the same time.
Fortunately, none of the tornadoes moved into Dodge City itself, staying just west of the city.
