It was at the height of Vargön outside Vänersborg that the unusual weather phenomenon appeared.

- We were on our way home and sat in the car.

It started to thunder and then I thought I should try to film a flash and right where it is I see the tornado, says Ann Sofi Maatoug.

The family slowed down at the roadside and started filming.

- We were all shocked.

The children were scared but I probably thought a little more that it was cool to see it so close, Ann Sofi continues.

See the tornado in the clip above!
