Statul american Illinois a fost devastat in acest weekend de zeci de tornade, in urma carora au fost ranite 30 de persoane.
Serviciul National de Meteorologie a raportat ca in total s-au produs 22 de tornade, arata CNN.
Cel mai afectat este orasul Taylorville, unde au fost distruse foarte multe case, liniile electrice au fost rupte, iar copacii au fost smulsi din radacina. In jur de 2.000 de persoane au ramas fara curent electric.
"Este un miracol ca nu a fost nimeni ucis", a spus guvernatorul Bruce Rauner. Acesta a precizat ca numai in Taylorville sunt 21 de raniti, dintre care trei au leziuni majore.
De obicei, in Illinois se produc in jur de 40 de tornade, dar un front rece puternic a dus la ceea ce s-a intamplat in weekend, conform Newser.
