As a tornado roared through the town of Washington, Ill., today, leveling houses, tossing cars and ripping up trees, one man turned to prayer.

And of course he caught it on video.

Anthony Khoury filmed the twister with his iPhone from the window of his house, while reciting the Lord's Prayer.

The tornado, which decimated a large section of the town of 16,000 in a matter of moments, was part of a storm system that brought dozens of tornadoes throughout the Midwest.
