A tornado ripped through southwestern Pennsylvania over the weekend, slamming into a church with worshippers inside.
The National Weather Service estimates it was an EF-2 tornado with wind speeds of 118 miles per hour.
It forced some to seek shelter, including about 100 members of the church, with the tornado striking in the middle of Saturday church services.
Video shows the lights go out with the pastor's wife in the middle of a song.
The church steeple flew off the building and damaged several cars.
The pastor said no one was seriously hurt.
