An eyewitness noted that the 'tornado' persisted for approximately 15 minutes, lifting large pieces of debris into the air
SINGAPORE: A bewildering natural phenomenon, initially perceived as a “tornado,” left witnesses in the Tuas area astounded on Monday . The awe-inspiring column of air, which appears to be a waterspout rather than a tornado or cyclone, caused quite a stir as it moved across the landscape, pulling approximately 100 kilograms of objects on land for 20 to 30 metres.
“I have worked here for more than 20 years, and I have seen ‘tornadoes’ before, but they were relatively small. This is the first time I have seen such a big ‘tornado,” the witness said. The eyewitness noted that this enigmatic “tornado” persisted for approximately 15 minutes, during which it exhibited astonishing strength, lifting large pieces of debris into the air.
