When a severe thunderstorm is looming in the Midwest, you can bet that Sean Casey and his team will be there to capture it on film!
Gabby says... When something was looming it was a tornado. I was at my house and I was really scared and I was crying. I am very reluctant of tornado's. So I have to stay with my family to be safe. I don't know why I always contemplate about tornado's. I wish tornado's were gregarious or xenial because they are very taboo.
