This is the terrifying moment a driver is confronted head-on by a raging tornado after getting caught in a tropical storm. <br /><br />Anuchit Suchat, 35, was driving in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, last Wednesday afternoon when a sudden burst of heavy rain drenched the area. <br /><br />The businessman thought he had passed the worst of it but then noticed the ominous dark cloud swirling towards him. <br /><br />He said: ''I noticed there was something like smoke rising in the air. It turned out to be a twister, like a hurricane, and I slowed down because I didn't want to get too near.<br /><br />''It was very windy and very scary. I slowed down but I was worried about the car in front which was in the path of the tornado.'<br /><br />The freak weather phenomenon - a storm chaser's dream - dispersed without causing damage. <br /><br />Elsewhere in the region, powerful winds blew down power lines and sent debris flying through the air in neighbouring Sakon Nakhon province. <br /><br />The torrential rains and strong winds were caused by a high-pressure system moving in from China.
