Citara was at the Dow Chemical plant, formerly Rohm and Haas, at Route 413 & Old Route 13 in Bristol when he saw the tornado right in front of him.
In the video that has been shared over 1,000 times on Facebook, Citara alerted one of his coworkers over a walkie-talkie.
"John, come up here quick, quick, quick! There's one crossing over the Delaware," Citara said.
As Citara continued to record, the tornado twirled and twirled as it crossed the Delaware River; at one point, the tornado's direction appeared to aim right toward Citara.
"It looks like it's coming right towards the plant, dude," Citara told his coworker.
