Residents said the twister struck at the time the areas were hit by rainstorm.

 

The twister tore down over 90 power poles along the three kilometre section of the highway from the Chonprathan Chainat-Pasak bridge to the Air Force’s Fourth Wing airbase, and blew off roofs of many houses along its way.

 

The massive toppling of the power poles caused power black out in a large areas covering Taklee, Tak Fa districts in Nakhon Sawan province and adjacent district of Chai Nat province.

last week one ripped apart a business on a small lake on prathumthani, ayuddha border depositing the dock on top of the boat. 2 funnels set down out of nowhere, and with nary a trailer park to be seen

In the USA there is  a lot of trailer parks as the houses that once were across the country have mostly been

ripped apart by all the tornadoes, and the trailers are what replaced a  lot of those houses.

 

The power poles arent even concreted  in in most places and 90% arent even straight.

thought for a few seconds the story was about the PM loosing his cool over the poor nurses.

Global Warming has changed Thailand's weather. Expect more of the same.

Nonsense.

In any area where there are violent  air updrafts that air must also come down.

In hilly terrain there will be some tornados every now and then.

I was born in a town in western Massachusetts and last year there was the first ever small twister seen there.

Again hilly terrain.

The hilly terrain cause masses of air to be pushed up to go over the hilly area.

And due to gravity that same mass of air will fall and on the way down it may be concentrated in a spinning blob, and cause a tornado by gaining speed as it descends

This happens all over the world.

Some places it is more common then others, but there is nowhere in the world which does not obey the same weather rules.

 

Hate them tornados. Lived in a area in Canada that had the potential to get one. In fact one ripped through the down town in my home city just before I was born. Seen the effects of these winds when a warning is issued. Get to the basement and take cover.

 

 

Feel sorry for those affected by this Tornado not a nice experience I'm sure.

 

And the driver of the car in the first clip has some serious engine management problems   It's at about 1.30 in the vid.

Nonsensical.

We're adding energy to the atmosphere by trapping heat with greenhouse gases, and tornadoes are the very picture of terrifying atmospheric energy. Linking any particular weather event to climate change is always tricky, because weather is inherently random. But weather patterns can speak to a warming planet.
