"CHANGSHA, April 23 (Xinhuanet) -- A Tornado killed seven people and
injured 207 others in Hengyang City, central China's Hunan Province, said
information from the civil affairs bureau of the city.

     Downtown areas of Hengyang City, and two counties of Hengyang and
Hengnan were struck by the tornado around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, and the
tornado, with the maximum wind force of a strong gale, moved on at a speed
of 23 meters per second.

     As the tornado swept through, ancient trees were pulled down, tiles
were sent to fly in the sky, and fist-shape hailstones werefalling down,
and huge advertising billboards collapsed, said local sources.

     The tornado destroyed 2,430 rooms and 1,106 hectares of crops, and 700
farmers became homeless. And 22 high-tension lines were fully damaged,
causing a blackout in Hengyang County."
