Subject: Tornado across a city in cypern, heavy damage... Sun Sep 20, 2009 10:49 pm
A Tornado pulled on Friday afternoon by the zyprische capital Nicosia. It left traces of devastation in several quarters. Trees were upset, cut powerlines by the force of the storm. The Tornado damaged many cars and buildings, because its way led directly through closely settled areas. Media locally number the number of the injured ones on at least 17.
Any peoples reported of flying around building parts and articles. Coworkers of a research center took refuge under tables in their offices, when through the storm windowpanes went to break and by air whirled fragments of glass. The front of the building was pulled by the Tornado heavily in.
The tornado developed abruptly in connection with strong thunderstorms, which besides with itself brought violent cases of heavy rain and hail. Tornadoes are not unusual on the Mediterranean island, arise however usually along the coast and less in the interior. Also on Saturday there are new thunderstorms, which can fail again more strongly on Cyprus.
