In the early hours of a stormy morning, Nanchang City in the Chinese mainland's Jiangxi Province was rocked by violent gales that claimed three lives. Thunder cracked the sky as lightning illuminated ominous clouds, while winds \"zigzagged like furious dragons\" between skyscrapers, shattering windows and uprooting infrastructure.
Meteorologists describe the event as a rare microburst phenomenon—a sudden, downward air current that can reach speeds of 100 mph. \"These storms are unpredictable but survivable with better early-warning systems,\" said one local expert, emphasizing the need for real-time weather tracking apps and community drills.
Residents shared harrowing stories of the storm’s intensity, comparing it to a scene from ‘Twister’ 🎥. Authorities are now reviewing safety protocols, urging cities to reinforce infrastructure and educate the public on emergency sheltering during extreme weather.
