The Peninsula
MORAVSKA NOVA VES, Czech Republic - Emergency workers and residents combed through wreckage in southern Czech Republic on Friday after a tornado and storm ripped roofs off buildings and overturned cars, killing at least three people and injuring hundreds.
The tornado late on Thursday reported in towns around Hodonin along the Slovak and Austrian borders and 270 km (167 miles) southeast of Prague, may have reached windspeeds above 332 kph (206 mph), a Czech Television meteorologist said. Firefighters searched the rubble on Friday while the army sent in a team with heavy engineering equipment to deal with the aftermath of the strongest storm in the central European nation's modern history and its first tornado since 2018.More Related News
