Storm chasers in Oklahoma captured this video of twin tornadoes on the move over the weekend.

A massive storm system made its way across several Midwestern states, spawning tornadoes from Oklahoma to Nebraska.

Video images show the two twisters side by side as they develop and move with the advancing storm.

Rescue and clean-up efforts were underway across the Midwest. At least five people in Oklahoma were killed and thousands of people in Kansas have no power.

In one Iowa town, up to 90 percent of homes and other buildings have been destroyed.
