VIDEO: Tornado forms over high school graduation ceremony

GALLOWAY, N.J. - Some high school seniors in New Jersey got a scary surprise during their graduation ceremony. A large tornado appears to be forming right over their heads.

The whole event was caught on camera by Matthew Blanchard who was attending his step-sister's graduation at Absegami High School in Galloway.

The huge funnel clouds sent graduates running from their seats as lightning struck.

Spectators also ran to their cars and to a nearby concession stand to hide as hail fell from the sky.
