Does the Bible have tornadoes?

Before we get started, please check out my previous article, here; A note on Bible translations, check out my latest on Locals; I kinda prayed with Gwen Stefani and Catholic views on the Eucharist, and, hey, I wrote a book, you can find that here; Elisabeth and the other man (paperback), and here; Elisabeth and the other man (ebook)

So, here in Aiken, as of the day I've started writing this (12 March 2026), we had some storms come through, we were even under a tornado warning, earlier. It's actually a bit nice out, though certainly a bit cooler. So, it got me thinking: Are there tornadoes in The Bible? I don't know the Hebrew word for tornado, but, I bed I know someone that does, Hebrew by Inbal. But, let's say the word for tornado isn't used. This doesn't mean there are no tornadoes in the Bible. My guess is that there are a few things that could plausibly be tornadoes. Let's start with the first and most important, Enoch. Now, there are some apocryphal works both about and purported to be about Enoch. I haven't read those, but, I do know where to find some information about those works, here,Lost Scripture: The Book of Enoch - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World, and here; Lost Scriptures: The Book of the Watchers (1 Enoch, Nephilim) - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World But, let's go ahead and read what I have read. “When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him”. (Genesis 5:21-24) Can I prove this was a tornado? No. But why do I think it could be? Because I don't see anything in the text that says it isn't. Do we see some more things that might could be tornadoes? Possibly. “And they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven”. (2 Kings 2:11) “And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God. (Luke 24:50-53) Of course, this isn't supposed to be any heavy theological reasoning. I've lived in the midwest (I was born in Davenport, Iowa), and am fairly familiar with tornadoes. And, since the Middle East most certainly gets them,Like the pillar of a cloud – about Tornados, dust devils and water and land spouts in Israel, it wouldn't be unreasonably to assume there's a Hebrew word for them. I don't know, I just find weather fascinating. Since, living in South Carolina, I have to deal with stuff like this. Surviving Helene (Thank God I'm alive)
