Around 200 people were sent fleeing after a freak tornado tore through a small village in East Nusa Tenggara’s Sikka district earlier this week. The twister struck the village of Nangahale village on Tuesday, destroying a kindergarten and health center, as well as seriously damaging 25 houses. There were no reports of any deaths or injuries. Ogo Batagong said the first he knew about the tornado was when he heard a very loud noise when it first hit the village. “I opened my back door and saw the tornado moving in fast from the Flores Sea. It was so high I couldn’t see the top of it,” he said. It destroyed my kitchen in seconds, he added.
