"I was in the store at the time, and I saw that the roof of the factory outside had been torn off by the strong wind, and everyone immediately evacuated inside. Mr. Zhu said that at about 4 p.m., the wind gradually stopped, and the surroundings were already in a mess, and some bosses couldn't help crying when they saw such a situation.

"The wind was so strong that the shutters in the store were closed, and the wind kept lifting the doors outward, and everyone was startled and panicked. Mr. Zhu said. The reporter saw at the scene that night that the commissary was in a mess, the shelves were blown to the ground by the strong wind, and all kinds of goods were spilled on the ground, which showed the intensity of the tornado.

"The mood at this moment is indescribable, tomorrow we will see how the boss will deal with it, and how the landlord and the customer will coordinate, and I hope that the government can provide us with strong support. Mr. Zhu said.

It was late at night, and he silently pulled up the cordon at the entrance of the store, "Make a safety reminder to prevent someone from approaching and personal safety from being harmed." ”
