Udupi, Sep 13: A strong whirlwind in the Papanasini river, Udupi caused panic among the localites on Tuesday, September 13 for some time.

The effect of the wind could be seen at Chak Pad, Ambalapadi Kidiyoor. The storm rising in the middle of the river and moving further to a few metres was captured in the video. Though the definite cause for the wind is not known, the people here suspect that the whirlwind was caused by the influence of a cyclone beating the surface of the river.

The video of the whirlwind is going viral on social media.

    Luckily there were no small wooden country boats (Doni) around that area ! Some people may owe the reason to some supernatural event. (Pretha, bootha, restless wander spirits)🙈🙊🙉

    A whirlwind is defined as a vertical column of wind, or vortex, which is formed by sudden changes in atmospheric pressure. The energy produced by these winds enable them to pick up the debris of varying sizes, including snow, leaves, water, dust, and even fish. In extremely rare cases, whirlwinds formed near wildfires can pick up flames and form towering fire whirls. However, the most common examples of whirlwinds are tornadoes, waterspouts, and dust devils. Whirlwinds last for an unspecified period of time, ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Whirlwinds also vary in size, from small dust devils a few feet in width to monstrous tornadoes with widths as large as two miles. The largest tornado in recorded history was a huge twister that hit El Reno, Oklahoma in 2013, which spanned 2.6 miles in width. Types Of Whirlwinds Whirlwinds are classified as either major or minor based on how they are formed and the intensity and speed of the wind. Major whirlwinds are formed during supercell thunderstorms, during which a condensation funnel forms underneath a cumuliform cloud. The condensation funnel is made up of powerful winds which can reach 110 miles per hour. Winds produced in some of the most powerful tornadoes have speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour.
