KUALA LUMPUR - A whirlwind lifted a car into the air and collided it with another vehicle during a thunderstorm, sparking a wave of viral videos on social media. The footage, posted by user @zhaeim on Threads, showed a blue Perodua Alza briefly airborne before crashing into a white Perodua Ativa in the next lane. The whirlwind appeared to pass through a third car farther down the road, before dissipating.
Another user, @amnmnf_, shared a separate clip of a whirlwind passing through a car park in Kota Damansara, lifting a red Perodua Axia several metres and causing tall trees to sway violently. Residents expressed shock at the videos, with one commenting that it was their first time witnessing a whirlwind of such power. Another worried about potential harm to motorcyclists or pedestrians caught in the storm.
The whirlwind in Kota Damansara drew a mixture of fear and curiosity from social media users. Authorities have not yet commented on the cause or safety implications of these unusual weather phenomena.
