Motorists have captured the terrifying moment a tornado hovered through the Chinese countryside, appearing to approach their cars. The giant column of wind struck the suburbs of Xilinhot city in north-eastern China's Inner Mongolia on Wednesday afternoon, according to China's weather authority. One video released by the Chinese National Meteorological Center (NMC) on Twitter-like Weibo shows one motorist filming the giant column of wind from a fair distance. The cyclone formed at around 2:30pm near the New Vehicle Administration Station of Xilinhot, said the NMC. The 15-second footage, uploaded by an account known as 'Ximeng Impression', shows the twister heading towards several parked cars when one person took a video of it calmly.
