Such bad weather shocked all the citizens of Gaylord, where a heavy hurricane swept through the center of the city. No North Michigan tornadoes are very rare. In the state itself, up to 15 tornadoes are usually recorded per year.
On May 20, a tornado swept through Germany:
- The strongest tornado swept through the German city of Paderborn on May 20 . About 40 people were injured.
- After the tornado, local law enforcement officers urged people not to leave their homes so that there were no more victims. It was also necessary so that nothing interfered with the work of the rescuers.
- Unfortunately, there were deaths – a couple of Frenchmen died at the age of 59. They were paragliding, but did not have time to land after a warning about a sharp change in the weather. The air vehicle fell into the field from a height of about 40 meters. The couple died on the spot before the arrival of the doctors.
Pay attention! On May 21, a hurricane is approaching the West of Ukraine, namely the Lviv and Rivne regions, which on May 20 caused disasters in Germany. People are asked to be careful, in particular, to refrain from walking in parks and, if possible, park cars as far away from trees as possible.
