🚨 Massive tornado in Brazil.
A powerful tornado tore through Rio Bonito do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil, yesterday, leaving at least five people dead and over 430 injured.
Winds reached up to 250 km/h, flattening much of the city and leaving what officials described as a “war-like scene.” Around 80% of the urban area was severely damaged, with widespread power outages and disrupted water supplies.
Emergency teams from across Paraná, including Curitiba, were deployed for search and rescue operations, and a field hospital was set up to treat the injured.
The tornado, confirmed by meteorologists as an F2 event and possibly an F3, formed from a supercell storm, marking one of the most destructive weather disasters to hit the region in recent years.
