The tornado that hit China’s Guangzhou has left wide devastation. Yet, cleanup efforts have started
BEIJING (AP) — Aerial photos posted by Chinese state media have shown the wide devastation of a part of the southern city of Guangzhou after a tornado swept through the day before, killing five people, injuring dozens others and damaging over a hundred buildings. As businesses and residents began cleaning debris Sunday, the images showed block upon block of devastation in the hardest hit areas with a few clusters of buildings standing amid the destruction, a truck overturned on its side and cars crushed by rubble. A few clusters of buildings are still standing amid the destruction. Authorities say 141 factory buildings were damaged. The sprawling city is a manufacturing hub near Hong Kong.
