A rare tornado in the Czech Republic has killed at least three people and left hundreds injured, regional authorities confirmed. The tornado hit a number of towns in the Hodonin district in South Moravia, including Moravska Nova Ves and Hrusky, leaving wreckage in its wake. It formed late on Thursday during a series of strong thunderstorms that hit the entire country. Extremely strong winds of F3-F4 levels (speeds of 158-260 mph) and tennis ball-sized hailstones also caused significant damage in the Hodonin district.
