I was on vacation in Shanghai, China visiting family when one day some ominous looking clouds appeared on the horizon. As they rolled through the city, the skies started to turn a bit green. The picture above shows the eery green tint to the sky, which is a phenomenon that signals the presence of a tornado. According to my mother, Shanghai never gets tornadoes there. However, the next day we were riding the underground rail when we saw a news report of a tornado touching down the day before in a city not too far off from Shanghai, where tornadoes are not that uncommon. The video footage showed people walking in the streets when suddenly the tornado hit, tossing stands and debris into the air as people ran for cover. The tornado was reported to have been the strongest that city has seen (possibly an EF-1), but nothing like that of what we see in the US.
