A TORNADO hit Argao and Santander got flooded after hours of heavy rains and strong winds Wednesday night.
In northern Cebu a day earlier, a tornado also reportedly struck a sitio in Bantayan town, knocking down 19 houses. An eight-year-old boy was reported injured but was later found to have only hurt his hand.
Tornados and thunderstorms usually occur in April and October when there are a series of low pressure areas, weather specialist May Casaligan said yesterday.
She explained that these weather disturbances happen when cumulu-nimbus clouds are formed. These clouds are filled with electrical charges which, when released, create tornados or thunderstorms.
Residents of Barangay Talaga, Argao in southern Cebu said they never saw anything like it before, as neighbors got lifted off the ground and vehicles and houses flew.
