Seeing a tornado touchdown in your hometown would be horrific, but listen as the man recording this tornado near Owendale in Michigan's Thumb has to talk down the woman who's with him.

I'm with the lady, I would have been screaming like a banshee, but I admire how this man stays calm in the face of the twister.

This dramatic video was taken by Nathan Messing near Owendale, Michigan at Stacks Market just before 7 p.m. Sunday. A local storm report for the National Weather Service confirms this twister touchdown. The thumb was one of the hardest hit areas.

Here's a photo of some pretty ominous looking clouds near Traverse City. The Glean Arbor area just west of TC was also hit pretty hard.
