Ermont, France – A video posted by X user Mat balcony clip from Ermont, a suburb of Paris, on October 20, 2025, shows a family watching an EF2 tornado approach from a distance.

Swirling storm clouds tower over autumnal homes, trees and rooftops as light rain falls and gusting winds intensify.

French audio in the clip captures a mix of awe and calm, with one voice asking, “Did you see the tornado?”

The twister later killed one person and injured four, toppled cranes, and caused damage to infrastructure across ten districts.

The post’s hashtags point to the chaos witnessed that day.
