Meaning
A swirling funnel of wind narrowing toward the ground, showing a tornado or whirlwind. The twisting shape suggests powerful, spinning air that sweeps everything up.
Beyond severe weather, it describes chaos, a whirlwind week or someone who leaves a mess behind: “My toddler went through the living room like a 🌪️.” It is not the same as 🌀, a flat spiral often used for dizziness or for storms on weather maps.
