A large tornado tore off the roof of a school in Ky Son.

According to information from the local government of Keng Du commune, the tornado that occurred at around 3:30 p.m. on April 23 caused damage to the commune’s kindergarten in Huoi Le village. A row of corrugated iron-roofed classrooms had their roofs completely blown off.

Ms. Hoang Thi Lan, principal of Keng Du Kindergarten, said: The strong wind caused her and her students to close their doors and stay inside. It was class time for the children so luckily they were not affected. This school has 49 students and has been affected by whirlwinds for many years.

"Currently, the commune government has sent forces to support the school in calculating the damage and overcoming the consequences of the tornado to ensure facilities to stabilize teaching and learning activities," added Mr. Luong Van Ngam - Chairman of the People's Committee of Keng Du commune.
