Two tornadoes touched down in Marathon, Florida on Tuesday. The event was documented by photographer Jeffrey Alberson and tagged by news outlet WSVN and National Weather Service offices NWSKeyWest and NWSMiami. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that are in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. While tornadoes are more common in the central United States, they can occur in many parts of the world.
