Signs of 2012?: Freak weather! Russia hit by first-ever city tornado
Dramatic footage has emerged of a freak twister that ripped through the Russian city of Blagoveshchensk last night.
It left one person dead, nearly 30 injured, tore off roofs from nearly a hundred houses and damaged 150 cars. Authorities in the far eastern city, which has a population of around 200,000, have declared a state of emergency as a result.
Tornadoes are extremely rare in Russia, and local meteorologists say it is the first tornado ever to hit a Russian city, according to weather records.
