* Chance of showers later, mild: Full Forecast *

Sunday evening, Eric Meyers - an emergency management coordinator in Navarro County, Texas, videotaped his incredibly close encounter with a powerful tornado. In the remarkable video, shown above, Meyers yells repeatedly: "We are in the tornado."

The tornado carved a seven-mile path through Navarro County and destroyed five homes in Rice, Texas -- according to CNN.com.

10:45 a.m. update: Check out this 2008 video of another close encounter with a tornado - this time from Iowa - where the observers also shout "We are in the tornado" multiple times.
