At least six people were killed and 190 others were injured after a ferocious tornado tore through the city of Kaiyuan, north-east China's Liaoning province on Wednesday, officials said.
Dramatic footage shows the tornado shattering windows, tearing roofs off of buildings, uprooting trees, and flipping over cars.
The twister tore through the city around 5.45 p.m. and lasted for approximately 15 minutes.
"It [Kaiyuan] is flat area at the latitude of our Tornado Alley," AccuWeather Meteorologist Jim Andrews said.
While tornadoes in this area aren't rare, Andrews said they aren't common either.
