Tornado in Guatemala!

A tornado is a rotating column of air that is in contact with not only the clouds but also with the earth surface, it is the most intense atmospheric phenomenon.     

This type of phenomenon is also called twister or cyclone. Every tornado has different size and shape, but they are all surrounded by waste and dust.

When three elements get together a tornado happens. These elements are:

• ·         An air mass warm and humid.
• ·         An air mass cold and dry.
• ·         An updraft.

Yesterday a crazy unusual thing hit Guatemala City; everyone was surprised to see a twister in a city where there is no presence of things like that.

It was a normal Sunday with a little bit of rain and a lot of clouds that all of a sudden turned into what it seemed to be a tornado. It didn´t only throw down trees but also it lifted roofs and caused a lot of fear around the citizens.

The worst thing about the ”tornado GT” is that ended up in a poor neighborhood or colony, and people who live there lost the little amount of things they had.

Experts say that this climatic phenomenon took place because of the dry climate and humidity levels presented in the capital of the country the last couple of days.
