devastation, killing at least 24 people and leaving scores more
injured.The storm hit the Daoxian province in south of the country on
Wednesday, said Zhou Jingzhong, head of the county government’s
publicity office. Strong tornado winds – which can reach speeds of 300
mph – caused a ferry to overturn in a river in the south-eastern
province of Fujian, causing the deaths of 11 people, with four still
missing, said local website qq.com. Nine people were killed in the town
of Dongguan, with images showing shattered car windscreens, apparently
smashed by egg-sized hailstones. Many of the dead were trapped inside
collapsed buildings..More at IBTIMES
