What is a tornado?

A tornado is defined as a violent air storm characterized by a rotating cone cloud and a funnel of condensation that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Since the winds are not visible, we cannot see a tornado unless a condensation funnel is formed, which is made up of water droplets, dust, and debris.

It is an unusual weather phenomenon in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and it occurs with severe thunderclouds, over a specific area, and its life is short.

The formation of this repressive hurricane is considered a rare occurrence in the Kingdom, which led to astonishment and astonishment among the residents of that region.
