Saint Petersburg was formed the tornado

In the city of Kudrovo is located in the Leningrad region, I noticed a small tornado.

The tornado came from the Mall "Mega-Dybenko" on the morning of 17 may, on the video it took off the drivers put their cars at the shopping center. Although the size of the tornado can not compete with the North American tornado, capable of destroying the city, observers were impressed by its appearance. Most likely, the vortex was formed of dust from local roads and existed at a height of about 20 meters in just a few minutes. However, in comments on social networks, many residents of the Leningrad region noted that such dust vortices appear in the last time quite often.

Usually dust vortices are formed at a height of 10-20 meters in warm and cloudless weather, when the ground is warm enough.

The city is located in Kudrovo, Vsevolozhsky district of the Leningrad region. It adjoins the Eastern border of St. Petersburg and is located just two kilometers from the metro station "Ulitsa Dybenko", which is known as one of the near suburbs of St. Petersburg.
