Benjamin Jurkovich, 25, who has been storm chasing since he was 10 years old, said he'd never witnessed anything like Saturday's rare weather phenomenon before.

"This was just remarkable," Jurkovich told ABC News. "There's not many things that blow my mind, but this was truly wowing."

Jurkovich added the tornado appeared to only pass through rural areas near the towns Wiley and Eads, and he didn't hear any damage or injury reports in the area.
