A devastating tornado wreaked havoc in Guangzhou, China, causing significant casualties and damage. Five people lost their lives, with 33 others injured. Over 140 factory buildings were damaged, leaving block upon block of destruction in the hardest-hit areas. While no homes were destroyed, some had broken windows. The tornado struck several villages in Guangzhou's Baiyun district during an afternoon thunderstorm that also brought hail. Authorities are investigating the origin of related videos. This event follows heavy rains and flooding in Guangdong province just a week earlier, which claimed at least four lives. The incident underscores the importance of preparedness and resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
