Pictures – Tornado spotted in Ulundi as severe storm rips through KZN

It appears that a tornado has been spotted in Ulundi in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday, however the SA Weather Service (SAWS) is still awaiting a report back from the team on the ground.

This after a tornado swept through Utrecht on Friday evening following a severe storm, bringing with it heavy winds and hail.

“From the video clips that went out on social media and from what it looked like on the radar, it is very likely that it could have been a tornado that happened as it coincides with the severe storm alerts that has been issued,” SAWS forecaster Jacqueline Modika told News24.

She said the province remains under watch for severe thunderstorms for Sunday.

Earlier in November, a tornado wreaked havoc in eMpolweni, New Hanover, killing two people and injuring nearly 20. This was followed by another tornado touching down in Bergville.

The province is mourning the loss of 23 lives due to weather-related incidents since October.

A tornado is described as a rotating column of air extending from the cloud base of a cumuliform cloud and is in contact with the ground. These vortices can result in extensive damages and loss of life.
