This eyewitness video from Ermont, France, shows the immediate aftermath of a rare F2 tornado on October 20, 2025, with fallen trees, debris-covered streets, damaged buildings, and residents navigating the scene amid rain and emergency response.
The tornado, the deadliest in France since 2008, killed a construction worker when three cranes collapsed, injured at least nine others, and caused widespread structural damage across multiple Val-d'Oise communes.
Unstable autumn weather fueled the storm, and rapid social media sharing of the footage—garnering over 5,000 views with permissions from agencies like Storyful and Spectee—illustrates how online platforms accelerate disaster reporting. Keraunos data confirms 15 similar tornado events in France that year, but none as deadly.
