LINDEN, Tex. -- Multiple tornadoes were spotted throughout Texas and Louisiana Thursday, but a storm chaser captured one of the twisters by drone in Linden, Texas.

Brian Emfinger was following the severe storms rolling through northeast Texas when a tornado started to form.

In a wider shot, Emfinger recorded the entirety of the storm, watching from afar as the twister spins through the Texas field.  

The Linden tornado was part of a large outbreak of severe weather. Severe storms moved through the Lone Star State Thursday, bringing damaging wind, large hail and several tornadoes.
