The incident was filmed near a farm in Dique Paso Piedras in the town of Cabildo located in the eastern Argentine province of Buenos Aires.

It was filmed a by a netizen named ‘Florencia’ who posted the clip on social networks and later told reporters: “I was with my husband and at first we did not know whether it was a cloud or a column of smoke.

“However, because of how it was moving across the field, we realised it was a tornado and we decided to film it because it was almost unbelievable.”

‘Florencia’ added: “If it had continued, there could have been a catastrophe.”

She also said that the tornado formed around 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) from her house in Cabildo.
