Powerful Tornado causes major damage in the Czech Republic
A tornado ripped through multiple villages in south-eastern Czech Republic, injuring over 150 people and causing heavy damage, local media said.
The storm damaged roofs of number of buildings in the southern Breclav and Hodonin districts, uprooting trees and overturning cars.
Half of the village of Hrusky was destroyed by the tornado, Lidove Noviny newspaper reported.
Rescue teams from across the country and also from neighbouring Austria and Slovakia have been deployed.
The tornado wrecked havoc at an old people’s home in the border town of Hodonin. A local zoo too saw massive damage.
The situation looked like a battlefield, said Antonin Tesarik, the director of Hodonin’s hospital, where up to 200 injured people have been treated.
