Tornados (Vortexes)

[Conquest of Blocks]

I recently was traveling at night and saw something at the night sky that reminded me of a tornado vortex and i was thinking "how cool and also frightening it would be,

if this was actually a tornado coming right at me". Look at this picture:

 

I know there are already temporal storms (which i turned off on my server, because i don't like the shifting effect, but that's just me). So i guess this won't happen.

Just wanted to share the idea.

I don't mind the idea of natural disasters, but they would need to be off by default, with the option of turning them on. If this is the case, then there's probably better features to be worked on, that will be benefitted from by more people. Still, a fine suggestion nonetheless, so +1.

Know this is an old topic, but that would be awesome. I love tornadoes, such a powerful force of nature that could add another element to the game. I literally found this by googling "is there tornados in Vintage Story"

Yeah having natural disasters like hail blizzards earthquakes and even volcanic eruptions that make life hell

thanks for reminding me to set meteoric expansion's destructive meteors to true

Hail storms that cause damage already exists, as does being struck by lightning.  Currently blizzards happen during snowfall with high wind.  The snowfall will eventually create a wet modifier which makes taking damage from the cold occur quicker.

I feel like the tornado would be interesting...until it goes through your base, that is. Although stronger storms in the tropics would make those zones more interesting and hazardous.
