Directly hit the villagers in the tornado-stricken village of Funing, Jiangsu Province, painful memories of the moment of shock.

  Zhongxin. com, Nanjing, June 23 (Gu Hua Gu Ming Screen) At about 2 pm on June 23, a rare tornado occurred in Wutan Lixin Village, Funing County, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province. Within half an hour, this small village fell into darkness, trees fell down, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and villagers fled everywhere. Many casualties occurred. The reporter from Zhongxin. com rushed to Lixin Village at 5: 30. The wind had stopped, and the whole village was in ruins. People gathered around their completely destroyed homes.

  Lixin Village is located on the side of National Highway 204 in Funing County. A small river divides the village into two settlements, north and south. There are more than a dozen families on both sides of the river. After the gale, none of them are intact, some are completely collapsed, and some have skylights on their roofs, although the walls are still there.

  Xia Zhengmei, a 62-year-old villager, recalled that when it was windy, she and her wife were both in the house, and they were at a loss for a while, thinking that they could avoid the limelight by hiding in the house. Unexpectedly, the roof was lifted in an instant, and the solar water heater on the roof made a loud noise. They hurriedly rushed out of the house.

  In the afternoon, villager Chen Fengling visited her neighbor Wang Weiying’s house. When they were talking outside, the wind was strong. Wang Weiying said that she would close the window in the house. Just as Chen Fengling watched her rush into the house, unfortunately, Wang Weiying’s house was swept down by the wind, and Wang Weiying was no longer seen in a pile of bricks and rubble. By the time the villagers pulled out Wang Weiying, she was out of breath.

  Dong Haiyun, who is in her fifties, just returned to her home in Lixin Village from Yancheng that afternoon. Half an hour later, the wind was strong, and before she could run out of the house, the house collapsed. After receiving the notice from the neighbors, her family came to pull her out and died.

  "It’s dark outside, and people who are blown by the wind can’t open their eyes." Tang Yuzhong, a villager from the fifth group of Lixin Village, said that he and his wife were in the house when there was a strong wind. They opened the door together and planned to rush out of the house. However, the door could not be opened because it was resisted by the wind. In a hurry, he knocked down the door and took his wife to the front yard. They each hugged a tree stump before insisting that the wind stopped. "My son and nephew are both injured. They have gone to the hospital for treatment." Tang Yuzhong said.

  "More than 200 ginkgo trees have all been destroyed." Chen Zhong, a young man, stood beside the ginkgo forest of his uncle’s house, anxious and at a loss. According to him, his uncle doesn’t live in his hometown, and there are more than 200 ginkgo trees at home, which he usually entrusts to him. In the gale that afternoon, more than 200 ginkgo trees were all broken, and the ground was covered with blue fruits. Chen Zhong said that some of these ginkgo trees have been growing for 27 or 8 years, and the thickest trees are more than 30 centimeters in diameter and worth more than 10,000 yuan. "So many ginkgo trees add up, and the economic loss is about 200,000 yuan."

  "Old mother shouldn’t be left in the house … …” Villager Zhang Changming wept bitterly. He said that when it was windy, he was in the East Room and his 84-year-old mother was in the Westinghouse. At the moment when the house was shaking, he wanted to rush into the Westinghouse to save his mother, but he was pinned down by the roof beam of the suddenly collapsed house. When he climbed out and ran to the Westinghouse, he even called his mother but there was no response. Finally, with the help of relatives and friends, he dug up his mother’s body.

  Zhang Bilong, a villager, said that he was lucky. When it was windy, he was driving a small truck home. When he got home, he was hit by a tornado, and the car was blown straight into the river. Just as he quickly opened the door and jumped into the water, a big tree was blown up by the wind and pressed against the truck in the river.

  According to the villagers, most local young people go out to work and study, and those who stay in their hometown are basically old people. Old houses and old people, in such bad weather, tragedy happened. (End)
