A video that shows a twister-like phenomenon is going viral on social media. S Dhanasekar, a Kasimedu resident who took the video, told The Hindu, “It was quite windy and the sea was rough that day. I was in the fishing harbour when this thanni kaal (leg of water) moved from the Chennai Port towards Ennore.” Meanwhile, weather blogger Pradeep John, in his Facebook post, said, “It was a rare Waterspout, a type of Tornado which was seen in Kasimedu beach on October 27. It was a weak waterspout and it does not cause any destruction and its' life cycle is just 20 minutes.”
