Man Blown From 12th-Floor Apartment in Deadly Tornado Disaster
Xinhua News Agency / Xinhua News Agency/Getty ImagesA 30-year-old man was blown out of his 12th-floor apartment after a powerful tornado tore through central China, leaving him critically injured as the deadly storm devastated parts of Hubei province. The man, who was inside his home in the city of Huanggang, was swept away along with furniture, including a sofa and cabinets, when the tornado struck, according to local media reports. He was later rescued and taken to a hospital intensive care unit. The violent storm killed at least 11 people and injured more than 331 others after winds reached up to 160 mph, ripping apart homes, overturning vehicles and damaging farmland. More than 4,800 houses were damaged across Hubei, a major industrial region.
