WITH VID
By Divij Mayer
Check out this astonishing moment as an erupting volcano and a nearby tornado appear together, creating the rare phenomenon often referred to as a "volnado."
Mahna Ghafori, from Hawaii, USA, was watching the volcanic eruption when she spotted a swirling tornado forming beside the towering column of ash and smoke.
The video captures the volcano continuously spewing ash and volcanic gases high into the sky while the tornado twists across the landscape nearby, creating a dramatic scene as the two powerful natural forces unfold at the same time.
Mahna said seeing the extraordinary event immediately reminded her of the phrase "tornado meets a volcano," before she was left in awe by what she described as the most incredible display of nature she had ever witnessed.
She added: "So much respect for the raw energy of the earth... how beautiful to be witness to the intensity of it all. Grateful. All I can say as an energetically sensitive person is that this was the most amazing display of nature I've ever experienced."
One user commented: ‘Absolutely insane, that’s so cool.’
Another added: ‘So cool, what a capture.’
