Tornado strikes Poland, killing three people

[chicken3377]

I love Poland...Tornadoes arent too rare but they arent too common they are usually small. This was a big sucker for Poland.

[clinthotvedt]

Sorry for the English reply, my Polish isn't good enough;

The one that tipped the bus was an F1. If it would've been an F3 there wouldn't been no video's from the inside on the web the same day; all the passengers would've ended up in either the hospital or the morgue.

Also, don't mistake the Enhanced Fujita-scale for the normal Fujita-scale, which we use in Europe, together with the Torro-scale. This one was F1/T3. There were F3/T7 twisters in Poland that day, but not on this video.

[txngasnguns]

Thats a huge tornado for Poland. If I didn't know where, I would almost say this is in the U.S.

Monster Tornado for Europe.

[LondonFinchHatton]

It's terrible

[MuchaNaSmyczy]

tak..ja jestem z kedzierzyna kozla i tam tez bylo ale niewielkie..

[Crazzeh]

I was there when it happened.

[Stevie5858]

I'm in shock. I'm from poland near Crakow and I can't belevie. I know that in US is match bigger tornado but for me is new. What happened late??

[cbass163]

palant

[Forntwa]

Sorry for my stupid comment before everyone, I was in a bad mood when I wrote it.

I think it's a bad idea letting the Americans build the missile defense shield. It just gives the superior Russians an excuse to start war. May God protect you.

[denmis23]

USA equals Europe.Missle defence?are u a politician or something?just continue to play with your toys,and let me do the same,but please dont star here issues such as the missle difence...

[jamroll9]

damn right u were in a bad mood... that was horrible, unacceptable, inappropriate, shitty, pooey, attitude, but anyways...lets forgive and forget hey :D LOL

[PavelLost]

Je to katastrofa ! Uplně mně z toho mrazí, je to hrozné.....

[denmis23]

What matters is the human respect.Even if u are from a not-so-rich country,you are a human.I hope those bastards who talk shit about ANY european country,to be in a pure F5 tornado's path one day.

[nofatuk]

no właśnie. Nikomu jeszcze nie udało się zmierzyć prędkości wiatru tornada. Nigdy. Prędkość wiatru ocenia sie po zniszczeniach. Owszem, nad autostradą przeszło f1, ale były miejsca niezamieszkałe gdzie wiatr był silniejszy, widać na niektórych zdjeciach

[nofatuk]

F3- I found out

[mojr4]

Well, Polish scientists say all the tornados were F1 or smaller

[xpnoWy]

omg gruboscia doruwnooje f5

[xpnoWy]

hmm wygladalo na f5 ale mniejsza prętkośc 180km na 250

[Forntwa]

I think this must be God punishing Poland for having bad morals and selfishness. Polish people taking work abroad for lower pay than the poorer people in places such as Britain. Polish are like Europe's 3rd world trash and will help destroy the rest of it.

[browntowel67]

oh u know what shut the fuck up already with saying oh poland sucks, poland is a bad country, wat the fuck did they do to u

[raydotl]

Oh really ? And what do you know about Polish people and their morals? I'd say that God should punish people like you, only because you called Polish people "Europe's 3rd trash". Let me explain to you one thing: no one is better ( and especially you ) and no one is worse. I hope that someday you'll understand it Mr. Next - generation - Hitler.

[NickJonasIsMine222]

u better shut ur face b4 i slap it. God must be punishing u 4 bein a next generation Hitler! Im part Polish and part of my family lives there and u should feel bad 4 all the people that experienced this!!! How would u feel if u were there??!!! Im from Europe, I lives there and I was born there, so I dont need U critisizing Poland!!

ur an idiot

[clinthotvedt]

Aren't you doing the same in South Africa??? Thanks to Mugabe the economical situation in your country is fucked up enough to head south.

In Europe there is freedom of movement and open borders, and you'll see German workers working in Szczecin because they'll make more there than at home. Besides that, in Europe there's also something like "minimum wage" and if these poorer families in the UK wanted to work they could've done so. Any employer would rather hire someone who speaks the language.

[smerfetka1986ja]

Okropne...

[MasterNet14]

hhmm tornado F-2 F-3

[KrzysztofK]

When comparing to the U.S. tornados may seem to be a rare occurence.

But there were always torandos in europe even in the past.

The difference to the past is that the media pay much more attention to such phenomenons.

[Treccorana]

I didn't even know Poland even gets tornadoes or even the rest of Europe. It must be a rare occurence.

[wyszykzamosc]

The climate's changing. I've read that three or four years ago there was only one mini-tornado in Poland but last year it occurred about 27 times.

By the way, I'm from Poland and it was pretty scary

[Treccorana]

That's really interesting. Thanks for the info. I'm sure it was scary and hope it doesn't happen again. Hopefully you won't get what tornado alley gets here in the US either between spring and fall. Sometimes they get these huge tornadoes and sometimes several at a time. It's devastating. I'm sure you've seen them.

[clinthotvedt]

Actually, per 10,000 square miles, the most tornadoes are reported from the Netherlands. The only difference is that the American "tornado alley" is over a million square miles, where the European "tornado alley" is less than 100,000 sq miles, and incorporates only the plains surrounding the southern North Sea basin.

[clinthotvedt]

(NW Germany, Benelux, N France and E England) This area gets about 270 tornadoes on average per year, of which 60 alone in the Netherlands (16,000 sq miles) which is higher than anywhere in the US. In Europe though, most buildings are built with a concrete structure with double glass and hipped roofs, keeping damage fairly limited. In Poland, twisters are fairly uncommon though.

[TerminatorKnoedel]

Hi. You are wrong. Twisters are not uncommon in Poland. The northwestern corner of EU is pretty good in reporting such tornadoes, but in general you must draw a kind of "EU-tornado-alley" from N France/S UK up to Poland and Ukraine... propably ahead to W Russia. Btw: Germany had more than 115 tornadoes in 2006. Cheers

[SpyroMantis87]

thats probably an F4 scale tornado by the looks of it not big enough to be F5

[swa182]

omg - poor people :(

[MilitantOldLady]

i would be scared out of my mind

[nockspitze]

currently F3-T7-rated, probably F4/T8 (like Hautmont in France on 03/08/08 recently...)

[barryno2]

dat ent real

[jamroll9]

wtf are u on?????!!!!!!!!!

[jamiebridges123]

Oh dear......
