webfact Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Video: "Tornado" hits Chonburi! Trucker tosses his lunch aside and shuts his eyes in terror! Picture: Daily News Mobile phone and footage from CCTV showed the moments when what looked like a mini-tornado swept through the parking lot of the municipal offices in Surasak sub-district of Si Racha yesterday. The unexpected event uprooted and snapped a 12 meter advertising hoarding that fell on the cab of an 18 wheel truck. A nearby Isuzu pick-up was also damaged. Picture: Daily News Trucker Sunthorn said he had stopped for lunch and was eating it in his cab. He had no warning, suddenly the cab was caving in, he threw his lunch aside, shut his eyes and hoped for the best. He said he was very lucky not to be injured.

They wouldn't know a tornado if they saw one. If it is over the water it is a water spout not a tornado. With the wonderful construction here a puff of wind would blow stuff over.

Grumpy John Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I think in Asia they are a "Typhoon" as the word tornado is a bit of a tongue twister for Asian folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 That's a dust devil alright. Seen many in the middle east. The Arabs call them 'jinn' (devil) which is probably how they got their western name. We had one rip through our mooban in Udon Thani when we lived there. It was a pretty scary few minutes.
