Pro angler Edwin Evers caught the Talala tornado on his cell phone Monday while driving home from his Pecan Farm.
He says the scariest part was seeing it go right past his home, the same home that was hit by a tornado in 2019.
"Well, I get to driving home and heck it's like, you can see it," said Evers.
In the video, you can see a large funnel headed right for his home in Rogers County.
Reports show damage in the area of trees down, trailers overturned, roof damage, and fences down.
Evers says this is not the first time they've had a close call with a tornado.
"It's just crazy because we've had four tornadoes come through there and I've been at the pecan farm for three of them and they all start right there at the Pecan Farm which is about 15 miles away and they all end up going right by the house," said Evers.
His home was actually damaged in 2019 but this time his brother-in-law's property took the hit.
"Today wasn't bad it just blew some tin off some barns and blew some tanks around and actually blew a few hay bales around believe it or not," said Evers. "But all in all it could have been a lot worse."
Evers says he's grateful to the weather team for keeping Oklahomans safe.
"Oh just thank you. I just know how many hours those guys put in and they don't get any sleep on nights like we've been having and thank you for what they do and trying to protect everybody," said Evers.
