From 2pm to 4pm the wind changed from Light to Moderate and by 4pm it was Intense. At about 4pm we observed a twister/tornado on the ridge at about 2350m; it was between 80m and 120m high and lasted between 45 and 90 seconds and moved significant amounts of snow - it was not an ordinary dust devil.
