“I have been officially chasing storms since 2016 and this was the first tornado I saw in person. On Saturday I knew we had a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms. That afternoon I saw the radar and It looked promising so my dad and I headed to Cuba, Missouri, to intercept a storm. We were in the parking lot of Midwest Petroleum Service Center and Truck Stop in Cuba when the tornado came down,” Munzlinger said.
The National Weather Service issued their findings Monday. The peak winds of the EF-0 was 85 mph. According to the National Weather Service, the weak tornado touched down to the west of Indian Lake, along Lakeshore Drive.
