Tornadoes wreak havoc across central China as Typhoon Bavi looms offshore

Tornadoes struck several cities in central China's Hubei province on Monday evening, with winds reaching level 13 on the Beaufort scale. At least one person remains missing, according to reports from local authorities. These tornadoes are exceptionally rare in Hubei, a major industrial and technological hub. Experts note that extreme weather events, including tornadoes and typhoons, are increasing in frequency due to climate change, causing significant economic damage. State broadcaster CCTV shared footage showing severe damage caused by the tornadoes, including vehicles shredded by debris. Meanwhile, Super Typhoon Bavi is approaching Taiwan, where it is expected to bring heavy rainfall and prompt emergency preparedness measures. Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged maximum effort in flood rescue operations.
