Why would it be Biblical?
As we said, the Fujiwara Effect is a relatively rare occurrence, although it does happen every once in a while. In fact, Hurricanes Hilary and Irwin danced the Fujiwara earlier this summer in the Pacific Ocean.

A landspout tornado was spotted Aug. 9, 2016, on Chicago's Southwest Side, the first tornado within the city limits in nearly a decade, according to the National Weather Service. Certified weather observer Melanie Harnacke documented the funnel cloud. (Melanie Harnacke)
My wife is good friends with Melanie. Not as rare as the Fujiwara Effect, but for a weather nerd to actually see and photograph one, it gets your geek on.
