Seems our country (SA) has been hit with a bit of a drought, the worst in 80 years and as a result the weather has gone a bit wayward.
Saw the following article about a tornado seen less than 100km's away from our regular kiting spot. The last one in our country was in 1999. They are not huge, but big enough to damage houses and I'd hate to be on a kite when one of these babies hits. Fortunately in this country they also come with lightening and thunder clouds, which is a clear indication to vacate the water.
Here is a picture of it.
