Tornado hits South Africa

Most people would think that tornadoes are rare in South Africa, however this is not the case. Earlier on Sunday a powerful tornado hit the town of Ficksburg which is located very close to the small country of Lesotho in the Maluti Mountains. Thousands of homes were demolished in the outbreak and at least one young boy was killed. Additionally, more than 40 other people have b een taken to nearby hospitals for wounds. Search and rescue efforts are underway, and the death tool so far doesnt look like it will be too high.



Monthly tornado average for South Africa.
