My mom comes from a family of fishermen and ship captains, the vast majority of all men in her city are still doing of those professions, I live in Lebanon, middle east.
She told me more than once that her grandpa used to rebuke or let waterspout or sea tornadoes disappear by prayer to a saint some special prayer, maybe saint George. The grandpa is Catholic Maronite, which is in essence just Catholic.
I googled it, I got nothing, I just want to know if such prayers exist in Christianity and if people used to say them historically, I found few videos like this:
[Man Rebukes Tornado in the Name of Jesus Christ (Youtube)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_h8W2yhbjY)
In fact if you google something like "Prayers Rebukes a Tornado" you'll see plenty of videos, most of them are just
'In the name of Jesus I command you to go'
But that's not what my question is about, nor whether these videos are fake or not. My question is this:
Is there a special prayer that only few people know, that people used to pray to a saint in order to rebuke a tornado or a waterspout? My mom is pretty certain of it, all her family are certain too, it's just that, her grandpa never told the prayer to anyone and passed away.
