A rare tornado and strong storms struck along the Czech Republic’s southern border on Thursday, destroying parts of some towns, killing at least three people and injuring dozens more, emergency services and media said.
The tornado, reported in towns around Hodonin, along the Slovak and Austrian borders and 270 kilometres southeast of Prague, the capital, may have reached wind speeds above 332 km/h, a Czech Television meteorologist said.
That would make it the strongest in the modern history of the central European nation and its first tornado since 2018.
Strong storms ripped roofs off houses and other buildings, blew out windows, overturned cars and scattered debris through the streets.
