http://www.maltaweather.net/news.htm
"An uncommon weather phenomenon was witnessed on Wednesday afternoon as
dark clouds hid the blue skies and the strong sunrays that characterise the
Maltese summer season.
The tornado was seen spinning around dust, soil and other dirt at around
1600CET. It was noticed from Siggiewi, Birkirkara, San Gwann and various
other localities mainly in the central and southwestern parts of the island.
Damage was caused to various retaining walls and some homes."
MALTA IS... a small island country south of Sicily (south of Italy's
mainland). It is about twice the size of Washington, D.C., USA.
