Severe thunderstorms killed at least 11 people, injured more than 300 others, and damaged thousands of buildings in central China’s Hubei province, local authorities said. Tornado videos circulated online from the neighboring cities of Ezhou and Huanggang.
A student in Huanggang city told The BBC that he had thought it was just an ordinary thunderstorm until he saw things started flying through the air outside the dormitory window.
A lot of students were cut by flying glass, he said. It wasn't until everything had finally stopped that I realized I had just lived through a disaster, the student added. The region last recorded a tornado in 2021, according to state media cited by The BBC.
Local authorities have launched rescue and relief operations.
