In Wik-Mungkan it is called Waampaar and in Wik-Alkan it is called Mangall. Whirlwind is a small tornadoes but not strong enough to damage trees building like in America. These are just ordinary whirlwinds. After bushfire burnouts on the ground, and the atmosphere gets very hot and humid. And then it swirls all the burnt out leaves spreading the black soot, red dust, white ashes. The Story Place for Mungal/Waampaar (Whirlwind) is at my mother’s country Kencharang. As my grandfather had told me that Kencharang places and areas have different names. Where the Story Place of Mungall/Waampaar is called Yaal Awa. This Place is near the corner of the riverside near Wukiin. Feral animals are the ones disturbing these significant Story Places.
