If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram recently, you might have come across a popular reel that’s making everyone talk and anxious. The clip consists of a scene from The Simpsons where Homer Simpson sits on the couch and watches as a tornado destroys the famous India Gate in New Delhi, with June 30, 2025 appearing on the screen. The monument looks fully destroyed.
Of course, this has caused panic, memes, and oodles of speculation across the internet. But let’s put this straight: this is not an actual Simpsons prediction. It appears to be a fan-made edit and is not present in any official episode, at least not yet.
Did The Simpsons Predict The India Gate Tornado?
Nevertheless, the video’s virality comes as no surprise. The Simpsons have gained a pretty legendary status as predictors of the future. From Donald Trump as president, to smartwatches, and even pandemic-like situations, the show has, across its nearly 800 episodes, made some spookily accurate predictions. But are they predictions, or simply sagacious satire and chance?
The truth probably lies somewhere in between. The writers of The Simpsons are known for their clever takes on politics, society, and the media. Their jokes are packed with observations that often hit closer to home than expected. So when one of these gags lines up with reality later, people take notice. Add to that the power of social media, and you’ve got a recipe for viral paranoia.
Returning to India Gate, no official weather forecast or warning is issued for a tornado in Delhi on June 30, 2025. Tornadoes are very rare in the area because of the local climate, and if unexpected weather were anticipated at all, the Indian Meteorological Department would alert beforehand.

So, should you not go to India Gate on June 30? Only if you’re superstitious or just don’t want to take any chances. Otherwise, there’s no reason to think anything will happen out of the ordinary. The reel is only a smart application of pop culture and editing and not an omen.
Ultimately, it’s just another instance of how The Simpsons, even when it’s not really forecasting anything, still seems to get the world talking.
