On a sunny beach day out in Maldive del Solento, Italy, on Tuesday (August 25), people were relaxing and swimming through the turquoise water, when they began to see a tornado among dark clouds approaching.

Within a few minutes, the sky was dark, thunder and lightning began to appear at a distance. People quickly started packing their things to evacuate the beach.

"We started packing our things and we looked up and saw what seemed to be impossible--a tornado forming and moving in our direction," the filmer said. "We started running for our lives, away from the tornado."
