Storm Chaser Documents Strong Tornado near Matador, Texas

On April 24, 2025, a captivating front-row seat view captured the sheer power and fury of a massive tornado swirling just northwest of Matador, Texas. The scene was nothing short of heart-pounding, especially given that it was less than two years since the town endured the wrath of an EF-3 tornado back on June 21, 2023. The dark, menacing funnel cloud twisted ominously against the stormy sky, throwing debris into the air as it roared across the landscape. This breathtaking yet terrifying footage was skillfully filmed by renowned storm chaser Stephen Jones, who braved the elements to document this ferocious display of nature’s might.
