On Thursday night, a tornado followed by a thunderstorm hit South Moravia in Czech Republic leaving a trail of destruction. The regions of Breclav and Hodonin were hit. Footage surfaced online of a huge tornado moving fast through the countryside destroying anything in its path.

Several firefighters were deployed to help victims after the major damage caused by the tornado, which is a rare occurrence in Czech Republic. Another footage uploaded on Twitter showed a town completely destroyed as if it was bombed. The worst hit was the town of Hruski in the Breclav region after multiple tornadoes devastated the region. Some cars were found on top of houses and a local church was left without a roof.
