6 dead, 218 injured after tornado hits Wuhan
WUHAN, May 15 (Xinhua) -- Six people have been confirmed dead, and 218 others injured after a tornado on Friday night walloped Wuhan in central China's Hubei Province, government sources said.
The tornado, packing winds of 23.9 meters per second, ripped through the Caidian District at 8:39 p.m. Friday, toppling some construction site sheds and snapping a large number of trees.
According to an initial investigation by local authorities Saturday morning, houses of 27 households have collapsed, and those of 130 households were damaged. Two tower cranes and 8,000 square meters of construction site sheds also suffered damage.
I hope the wet markets are okay. And....the extended Honkus/Ping family.
ETA: I have no idea how fast 23.9 meters per second is in Freedom Units.

That comes out to about 53.5 MPH, equivalent to a summer storm in South Louisiana

That can't be right. They need to start nailing some of those cheap chinese doodads to the walls or something.

Here's a supposed video of the tornado. Someone forgot to carry a number on the wind figures. Retweeted by several weather twitter accounts.

I assume something was lost in translation. Can't be a decimel, because 54 mph is low, but 540 mph is probably not right either.

Before I zoomed in I thought those to symbols/letters were just stickmen running.

Has to be a measurement from near the tornado and not the actual tornado. Maybe a gust picked up by instruments somewhere close.

I gotta be honest. I’ve long kind of assumed tornadoes- TRUE tornadoes... are a North American thing. Am I mistaken?
I know you can have strong cyclones elsewhere- but as far as massive, long track, leveling cities type stuff.
