Strong winds of more than 100 kilometers per hour hit Wuhan yesterday (14/05), the city from which the coronavirus pandemic is believed to have started. Six people were killed and more than 200 others were injured, according to Hubei provincial officials.
The gusts were so strong that two cranes were damaged, while one of them fell on a construction site, causing significant property damage.
Cars were destroyed by objects that fell on them, trees were uprooted, sheds were swept away by the wind and electricity pylons fell, causing power outages in more than 26,000 households. About 30 houses were destroyed, according to Hubei authorities.
