Tornado rips through Lingbi, Anhui

This tornado, captured here on video, ripped through Lingbi County (灵璧县) in landlocked Anhui Province last Friday at 2:20pm for about 5 minutes, tearing away 650 houses, damaging another 1,000, killing one person and injuring another 45. While there has been relatively scant media coverage of the tornado, over 20,000 people have been directly affected by the tornado. In 2005, a similar tornado killed 15 in the same county.
