Rain accompanied by tornadoes damaged dozens of houses in Indonesia on Tuesday.

The twisters touched down in Sedadi Village, bringing heavy rains as they ripped through homes in Grobogan Regency in Central Java on January 9.

Emergency services helped clear away debris from damaged houses and fallen trees toppled over by strong winds.

A tornado is a violent rotating column of air that connects the earth and a storm cloud. According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the rise of warm, humid air and the fall of cooler air inside a thunderstorm create spinning currents that condense into a visible whirling funnel.

Tornadoes spawned from supercell thunderstorms are the most common, and often the most damaging.
