OK tornado goes from 0 to 200 miles per hour in seconds [VIDEO]

The Oklahoma tornado that killed 24 people, including seven children, went from zero to 200 miles per hour in just seconds.

An onlooker, Charles Cook, took chilling footage of the tornado picking up speed at a terrifying rate.

His son posted the video to Reddit Monday, writing: “He was out that way for work today and just happened to be in the right place at the right time. He was worried it was going to come back at him and was searching for a way to scoot out it’s way once he was able to gauge how insanely close it was to him. He hung in there, though. Unbelievable.”
