Back-to-back tornadoes killed 12 people in central and eastern China and left more than 300 others injured, authorities said Saturday.
Eight people died in the inland city of Wuhan on Friday night and four others in the town of Shengze, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) east in Jiangsu province, local governments said.
The first tornado struck Shengze about 7 p.m., damaging homes and factories and knocking out power, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The Suzhou city government, which oversees the town, said in a social media post that four people had died and 149 others had minor injuries. Shengze is near Shanghai on China’s east coast.
Another tornado hit Wuhan at about 8:40 p.m. with winds of 86 kilometers (53 miles) per hour, destroying more than two dozen homes and triggering a power outage affecting 26,600 households, Xinhua said. Officials in Wuhan said at a news conference Saturday that eight had died and 230 were injured.

And a backup generator. Holy Plum Island Batman, where’s Set. Corey???
If it took the roof off the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who knows what will be released?
As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “What a shame.”
Seriously though. Those people probably had nothing to do with this. But whenever I hear Wuhan, my spine starts to tingle.
“Eight people died in the inland city of Wuhan”!
do I give a damn?
Nope.
Jesus H. Christ. Had not thought of that.
Please Sir, may the world have another pandemic? /s
from Oliver Twist.
Fauci knows.
I kinda feel the same.
Women and minorities hardest hit
Oh, wait! Watch for Biden to deploy the military to render assistance.
Don’t use the Lord’s name in vain, please.
Damn shame it wasn’t 12 million, or better yet hit Beijing and kill xi, and the ccp leadership.
Let me guess: the tornado that hit Wuhan shredded every document relating to Covid-19
All records relating to dr mengele have been relocated.
And that’s a bad thing? Why?
China does mess with the weather an awful lot.
Hang on a second: “...Another tornado hit Wuhan at about 8:40 p.m. with winds of 86 kilometers (53 miles) per hour,...” Uh, we call that a dust devil where we are.

Shitty, sub-par Communist Chinese construction means that a light breeze will knock down buildings
Are their houses made of rice paper? 53mph isn’t exactly powerful winds for a tornado. The thing wouldn’t rate as an F-0. I think someone mistrnslated the numbers. I saw vids of that storm and there was a lot of big airborn debris, and it was a good size tornado.
Why not? The sheep will apparently believe anything they are fed by the US propaganda media.
With Chinese craftsmanship I’m surprised their buildings don’t fall when someone slams a door.
