The incident around 16.00 WIB was quite surprising because it caused severe damage to residents' houses. Initially, many people thought that the phenomenon of the strong wind was a tornado.

However, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) referred to it as a tornado. This is based on analysis of photos and videos, as well as the impact of the damage uploaded by residents. From this analysis, BRIN concluded that this tornado phenomenon in Rancaekek is the first to occur in Indonesia.

BRIN states that the phenomenon of powerful winds in Rancaekek is considered a tornado because it has a wind rotation radius of more than 2 kilometers.

In addition, the wind speed scale in Rancaekek at that time was so strong, estimated to reach 65 to 67 kilometers per hour. What strengthens the fact that the powerful wind disaster in Rancaekek was a tornado is its long duration. According to BRIN, in terms of duration, tornadoes occur in a short duration, lasting around 10 minutes.

"Meanwhile, a tornado storm occurs in Rancaekek and its surroundings after observing the movement through satellite clouds."

In an unidentified video, the detection of tornado wind visuals through satellite clouds is shown. From the satellite observation, thick clouds have been visible above Rancaekek and its surroundings since 15.00 WIB.

The thick clouds are increasingly covering the area in the Bandung region as the clock shows 15.50 WIB.

"Until its peak, the clouds move with a strong rotating motion around 16.00 WIB."

"In the video, it also shows a dark-colored swirling wind moving among residential houses."

The phenomenon of the first tornado storm in Indonesia, which occurred in Rancaekek Bandung, is certainly shocking. Because until now, Indonesian citizens have only known about the disturbing whirlwind. BRIN researcher Dr. Erma Yulihastin mentioned that the tornado storm in Rancaekek is similar to those in the United States. Erma revealed this through a tweet on X, stating that the similarity reached 99.99%.

"Although, the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) requests the public not to refer to the phenomenon in Rancaekek as a tornado. BMKG refers to the phenomenon as a whirlwind. According to BMKG, essentially whirlwinds and tornadoes are natural phenomena that have several visual similarities, namely strong, dangerous, and potentially destructive wind vortexes."

The term tornado is commonly used in the American region, and when its intensity increases to a more devastating level with wind speeds of up to hundreds of km/h and dimensions that are extremely large, spanning tens of kilometers, it can cause tremendous damage. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, a similar phenomenon is referred to as "puting beliung" with wind speed characteristics and relatively less severe impacts compared to the large tornadoes that occur in the American region.

"So we urge anyone who is interested not to use terms that can cause unrest in society, just use terms that are already familiar in Indonesian society, so that people can understand them more easily."
"Such is the statement on the BMKG website."
