People in the Belturbet/Killeshandra area of Cavan reported a tornado-type cloud descending on the area on Tuesday.
Witnesses in Belturbet said the twister was like a black funnel of cloud which swirled and hovered over the area for 10 minutes but never touched the ground. However, local people in Killeshandra said that when the twister appeared in their area it descended on the local lake and caused the water to swirl to more than 12 feet above its average level. It was described by witnesses as an awesome sight.
No damage to property was reported in the region.
