Whirlwind hits Los Baños
MANILA, Philippines — A whirlwind hit the town of Los Banos in Laguna province Thursday afternoon, stirring panic among its residents.
Eyewitness accounts said the tornado was seen between 4:30 to 5 pm.
Harold Grande, an instructor at the College of Development Communication in University of the Philippines Los Banos, said he was inside the classroom when he heard a commotion outside.
“I was at DevCom and the students were shouting outside then I saw it [tornado] forming then it dissipated,” said Grande in a phone interview, adding that it seemingly lasted for five minutes.
“It was like those in the movies,” he said of the rare phenomenon in the science town of Laguna.
Meanwhile, Pamela Lomaad, a senior BS Economics student at UPLB said the tornado formed twice. She even took a video of the incident.
“We saw nets and leaves flying. You can see the tornado really forming,” she said.
“Students were amazed at first but they were in panic later,” she added.
A Philippine Daily Inquirer editor, quoting eyewitnesses, told INQUIRER.net the whirlwind damaged some buildings near the main intersection of the town.
