The video that was uploaded to YouTube on July 28 shows the storm striking a marketplace in Bắc Ninh province, Vietnam.
As the video begins, the weather is deceivingly calm. The taxi driver is sitting in his car playing smooth Vietnamese rock, completely oblivious to what is coming. The surrounding area starts to change as you see people hurrying away from an unseen force of nature.
The cameraman frantically backs up his car to avoid the tornado as he sees objects flying through the air and buildings being ripped apart. One lucky man on a scooter manages to escape the tornado and run towards his car.
