Tornado Czech Republic June 24th, 2021

Unread post by Orion »

A tornado has swept through several villages in the Czech Republic, killing four people and leaving more than 100 others injured.

Thursday night's storm blew the roofs off buildings in the south-eastern Breclav and Hodonin districts, uprooting trees and overturning cars.

Winds of at least 219km/h (136 mph) were recorded and the worst-hit areas were said to look like a war zone.

Thunderstorms have quite active in these countries resulting from very warm temperatures.

Russia seems to suffer the strongest tornadoes in Europe - and particularly the western part of Russia considered to be in Europe.

There was an F5 and and F4 tornado in the outbreak on 9th June 1984.
