This is the moment a sinister looking twister formed over a sleepy British village.

Spiralling storm clouds were spotted over Porthpean, near St Austell, Cornwall.

And the weather phenomenon is known as ‘funnel clouds’.

One local was seen running away after spotting it on Monday (15 Jul).

They are cone-shaped formations that appear to dangle from a larger cloud above and are formed in the same way as a tornado, as reported by What’s The Jam.

A spokesman for Kernow Weather Team said: “A funnel cloud is a cone-shaped cloud which extends from the base of a cloud towards the ground without actually reaching the surface.

“In Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, they often look like thin dangling bits of rope, hanging from the cloud above.

“But in hotspots such as tornado alley in the USA, funnel clouds can sometimes be thicker and much more intense.

“Funnel clouds are formed in the same way as a tornado building around this localised area of intensely low pressure and are typically associated with the formation of cumulonimbus thunderclouds.

“Cumulonimbus clouds are almost always the host cloud from which tuba form, meaning that heavy rain, hail, thunder and lightning can all be expected.

“If a funnel cloud does make contact with the ground and produce a tornado, very strong winds can be expected in the immediate vicinity of the vortex potentially causing severe damage.”
