Original review summary
A video posted on X on August 29, 2025, appeared to show a tornado catching fire. The review found that its opening image matched a real tornado photographed near Traer, Iowa, and concluded the video was likely made by altering that footage with AI; other videos of the same tornado do not show it igniting.[S1]
