Abstract
Some results of an expeditionary study of the tornado distribution area in Kakheti on June 25, 2024 are presented. The team of researchers visiting the Alaverdi Cathedral, had a meeting with His Eminence, Bishop of Alaverdi, Metropolitan David. The damage to the Alaverdi Cathedral and its surroundings was discussed in detail. Important information has been received regarding this issue. Further research was continued in the area surrounding the Alaverdi Cathedral and in the direction of the villages of Kvemo and Zemo Alvani. The probable place of origin of the tornado and the trajectory and area of its spread were determined. The damage caused by the tornado on the propagation trajectory was studied. More detailed studies of this natural phenomenon are planned in the near future.
