Tornado Sucks Man From 12th-Floor Apartment in China
The storms were linked to Supertyphoon Maysak, and state media said 14,600 people were affected as rescuers searched damaged neighborhoods.
- On Monday, a 30-year-old man named Zhang was sucked from his 12th-story apartment by twin tornadoes in Huanggang, Hubei province. Miraculously, he survived the fall onto bushes below and is currently in an intensive care unit.
- Triggered by Typhoon Maysak's landfall last Friday, powerful storms reached wind speeds up to 93 mph in Huanggang, shattering floor-to-ceiling windows and flinging semi trucks as far as 100 feet.
- As of Tuesday, the violent squall killed at least 11 people and injured over 331 across Hubei. The storm collapsed 22 houses and damaged over 4,800 homes, affecting 14,600 people total.
- Zhang's cousin Liu discovered him unconscious beneath the building after hearing his wife crying for help. Chinese President Jinping called for all-out emergency rescue efforts and urged local governments to safeguard lives and minimize casualties.
- The Communist Party allocated 60 million yuan for disaster relief across five regions including Guangxi and Gansu. This aid addresses a wider stretch of severe weather as other parts of China experience intense rainfall and scorching heat.
