True, but everything possesses this duality if you think about it. The sunlight with which we buy our existence at the cost of the entropic death of the universe, merely photons released as a result of fusion of hydrogen into helium, a gold ring being a measly sliver of an element formed in ultramarine supernovae, the breasts on a person merely adipose tissue and mammary glands. A bullet being a hunk of kinetically charged lead. It's all so simple yet all so consequential

Yeah it's not just a rotating column of air, they are a rotating column of air, low pressure, when they collect broken glass, trees, cars, boards, roofs, and thousands of various other debris, they are intense and deadly force of atmosphere. They can't be reasoned with or controlled much like a masked killer. Oh and the sound of all of it is rather unsettling.
