A tornado is
a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of
the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus
cloud. They are often referred to as twisters
or cyclones,
although the word cyclone is used
in meteorology, in a wider sense, to name any closed low pressure circulation.
Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes. Source

The Big Hole,
Open Mine or Kimberley Mine is an open-pit and underground mine in Kimberley,
South Africa, and claimed to be the largest hole excavated by hand, although
this claim is disputed. The first
diamonds here were found on Colesberg Kopje by members of the "Red Cap
Party" from Colesberg on the farm Vooruitzigt
belonging to the De Beers brothers. Source
