Nocere – Earth Disasters

Tornadoes are reported creating havoc in the state of Michigan. Much of the damage has been confined to only the western part of the state. Altogether there were three tornadoes that were reported.

The first one started its course of destruction in the city of Allegan by completely bringing a house to ground. Strong winds blew away another house off its foundation and also caused serious damage to couple of other buildings.

The town of Otsego in Kalamazoo County was the second place where the tornado was reported from. Reports suggest that the there hasn’t been any loss of life but the tornado took many roofs and left behind wrecked houses and buildings.
The third one was a mere strong wind which blew the roof off a house in Richland in Kalamazoo County.

Apart from a major property loss no loss of life has been reported yet. But the situation is expected to get more intense with the winds getting stronger in the ocean. Necessary measures are being taken to minimize the loss.

Hawaii had a special visit from a rare Tornado. It din’t cause much havoc but did cause property loss to the places it hit.

Storm that was heading south was the source of the Tornado. It brought heavy rain, strong winds and also some snow fall up in the mountains.

Due to the rains and strong winds a few places in Hawaii were flooded slightly.

This part of the country is not very familiar with tornados, as they are rarely one or two in a year.
And during the past few years the frequency has gone down further to hardly one per year.

Once a tornado makes its landfall, it results in huge destruction of property and life.
