Awesome Tornado footage from Taiwan

This was supposed to have been shot only a couple of days ago. Amazing storm motion and tornado.

Hi Jeff,

The tornado is rotating clockwise - interesting! Anti-cyclonic tornadoes of this intensity are rare. Was it spawned by some tropical system or typhoon?

Regards,
