We have often looked at tornado tracks for the US and we recently looked at one in China but this is the first time we have come across one in South America.
According to Wikipedia it was an F3 rated tornado that struck the town of Dolores, Uruguay on April, 15th 2016. It destroyed at least 400 homes and buildings, killing five people and injuring more than 250.
Here are some ‘before and afters’ showing the damage caused:
Unfortunately Google has not updated the ‘historical imagery’ layer since June, so we cannot see all the imagery. Google has chosen only parts of the relevant imagery for the default layer. This is most likely because the other parts have cloud cover.
You can see a video of the tornado here.
