BREAKING: Dad spots massive tornado in sky above Yorkshire but isn't afraid for one reason

A dad says he wasn't afraid of dying when he saw a massive ‘tornado’ in the sky - thanks to the 1996 film Twister.

Bradleigh Hancock, 47, was driving along the A62 towards Marsden, West Yorkshire with his wife Claire and his 17-year-old daughter when she looked towards the sky and said “is that a tornado?”. Shocked, he pulled over and started filming the phenomenon, which occurred just before 5pm on Monday, July 21.

Plasterer Bradleigh, who has lived in Marsden for 20 years, said: “Before we even thought about it coming towards us, it lasted for about two minutes and then the bottom came up and it disappeared.
