PHOTOS: Unprecedented tornado hit Hungary
For the first time this year, a tornado ravaged Hungary on Wednesday afternoon.
According to IdÅ‘kĂ©p, the twister was seen late Wednesday afternoon near the village of KĂ©tegyhĂ¡za, in the southeastern tip of Hungary.
This is the first time Hungary has had a landfalling cloud cone in 2023, while a smaller vortex that has not yet touched down was already formed 28 times.
Attila Tomka spotted the tornado near the Orthodox cemetery in KĂ©tegyhĂ¡za. “I took a snap with my phone at five times magnification but it dissipated in a few seconds,” Tomka recalled the rare natural phenomenon.
Not only in KĂ©tegyhĂ¡za, but also in Pusztaottlaka, a settlement further west, the tornado was visible for a short while.
