Giant Twisters

Two stunningly breathtaking tornadoes hit China this week, joining a slew of natural disasters in the vast country of over 1.4 billion people.

On June 16, a terrifyingly enormous twister ripped through buildings in the Chinese megacity of Guangzhou, located in the southeastern province of Guangdong. Several tiny explosions are observed when the tornado smashes a downtown railway station, with sparks being pushed into the sky by the quickly revolving storm.

The tornado, highlighted by city lights and transformer explosions, can be seen from different angles in the darkness as it smashes through the crowded urban core. According to witnesses, the twister was on the ground for almost three minutes.

One individual taking a video offered his colorful commentary as the tornado ripped across the city.

"There is a power outage." The massive tornado is traveling down Line 14's path. Wow, the sparks are flying everywhere! The metro station on Line 14 has been hit! " he stated, according to Newsflare's translation.

The aftermath of the Disaster

Guangzhou people flocked to the streets in the storm's aftermath to examine the damage and begin cleaning up. Trees and scaffolding had fallen into the roadway, and the storm's tornado and powerful winds had knocked out power in the region. Surprisingly, no storm-related deaths were reported.

This week, two incredibly beautiful tornadoes slammed China, joining a string of natural disasters in the massive country of over 1.4 billion people.

On June 16, a terrifyingly large twister smashed through buildings in Guangzhou, China, located in the southeastern province of Guangdong. When the tornado hits a downtown train station, several small explosions are seen, with sparks thrown into the sky by the rapidly rotating storm.

The tornado, illuminated by city lights and transformer explosions, can be seen from various perspectives in the darkness as it rips through the densely populated metropolitan center. According to witnesses, the twister was on the ground for about three minutes.

The twister damaged several houses as it swept towards the village, with sections of their roofs thrown onto the street. Trees were torn out of the ground and left on their sides, giving the place the appearance of a battle zone rather than a charming town. There were no injuries recorded as a result of the storm.

Most Recent Extreme Weather Events

According to Reuters, the two twisters are the most recent in a string of extreme weather occurrences in China. Torrential rain has fallen in southern China, while temperatures in northern China are expected to rise over 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

"Weather conditions in China would likely be adverse this summer," a country's aviation authority official said during a news conference on Friday.
