I stumbled upon a video of a weak tornado that hit a school somewhere in Thailand. The video shows the view from various surveillance cameras located about the school. None of the cameras actually show the tornado itself. What I found interesting is on some of the classroom footage, you can see various desks being thrown about, while others are unmoved. The way the desks move about, you can almost see the eddies created as the winds push inside. It's aways strange how a tornado can destroy half a house, yet leave a set of fine china untouched. This video may help illustrate how tornado winds cause damage to some portions of a building, but not others.
