This past weekend, Typhoon Soudelor arrived in Taiwan with full force, killing 20 people. And the dashboard cam video below shows just how powerful it was.
The “mini” tornado occurred in Tainan City, Taiwan, and brought winds equally that of a category three hurricane. The tornado barrels through out of nowhere and exits fairly quickly, but it still causes major destruction.
The tornado in the video is an EF-1. The Enhanced Fujita scale estimates the strength of a tornado based on the destruction it causes. The EF-1 can bring winds up to 110 MPH, and yet it’s still scary as hell to see, let alone be in the middle of one.
I prefer my tornadoes on screen and far, far away from me. Here’s hoping the folks in the video are alright.
