A teacher at Briarwood Elementary captured the moment of impact on her cell phone.

#!

New, citizen-shot footage continues to surface of Monday's deadly tornado in Oklahoma.

A clip that ABC News featured on Wednesday shows teachers and students huddling in terror at Briarwood Elementary School in Moore, Okla., one of two schools leveled by the storm. As the F-5 twister rips through the building, children scream in horror while teachers attempt to calm them.

ABC News reports that the footage was taken by fifth-grade teacher Robin Dziedzic, who can be heard yelling "It's almost over" to the panicking children.

After the worst is done, the footage shows a gaping hole in the roof of the building as a teacher cries, "Oh my God."

BUT, the more people see this stuff, the better they can prioritize funding for shelters, building codes, etc, and the better prepared we can all be to handle such an event calmly, doing the right thing to best ensure survival...
