local tornado?

[oldblue]

months ago sa southwoods na news, na-tornado daw sila. some parked cars/SUV's got pinned down ng malalaking puno sa southwoods










By the way, the "Buhawi" or minitornado that hit Carmona, Cavite last Wednesday noon was a "freak" but it showed us how unpredictable and how furious nature can be.

It struck the area where the plush Southwoods Golf & Country Club is located and the wind force was so strong, full grown trees in its path were immediately uprooted and slammed against some 27 vehicles parked near the clubhouse. It also flung several startled golfers and their caddies several meters before disappearing.

My "compadre," Lino Barte was playing golf at Southwoods but luckily for him, he had just finished his round and was in the clubhouse when the tornado hit. None of the vehicles parked had their drivers sleeping in them, so no one was reported crushed by the trees. This incident should remind drivers not to violate their masters’ rule of not sleeping inside the vehicles. A driver asleep inside the vehicle also invites carnappers.
