We performed a keyword search and came across a report by Pune Mirror dated June 9, 2018. <\/span>According to this article<\/span><\/a>, a tornado-like situation was observed on June 8, 2018, in Ranmala village near Nazre Dam in Pune. After a video of this incident went viral, a three-member team from the Center for Citizen Science (CCS) reached the spot on June 9, 2018. The group performed an investigation and questioned more than 10 eyewitnesses about it. The team gathered various information related to this and also collected videos and photographs recorded by the people present at the time of the incident.

Based on observations and video records, the preliminary conclusion was that the tornado lasted approximately 90 to 120 seconds. It covered a distance of about 800 to 1,000 meters, covering water and land. CCS Senior Meteorologist Dr JR Kulkarni stated, \u201cAfter observing the matter, our team concluded that the tornado had progressed from F0 to F5 (Fujita scale).”<\/span><\/p>\n

To sum it up, social media users falsely shared a 2018 video of a tornado that struck Ranmala village in Pune as clouds carrying water from the Ganges river at the Allahabad Sangam.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
