Yesterday, in the evening of 24.6.2021, a rural area in Moravia in my country, the Czech Republic, was hit by a category EF3 or EF4 tornado. 7 towns were demolished and so far we know about 3 dead and hundreds of injured. You can see the destruction the tornado has caused bellow.
Tornadoes are quite uncommon in Europe and the strong ones are very rare. The last time we had a tornado this strong was in 2004. This time, the tornado was so strong it was the strongest one in the entire Europe since 2001.
Because of the rarity of tornadoes here, we do not have any warning systems or prediction for them, so most people were caught unprepared and without any possibility of hiding. Most of us don't even know what you're supposed to do during such event.
Please, if you can, donate to help the affected, since they're far from being outside of harms way - we're in the middle of strong thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail. Our country was already heavily hit by covid last year and the government has only decided to spend about 10.000.000CZK (cca 470.000USD) to help those affected by the tornado, which is a laughable sum.
So far noone has set up a way to donate for foreigners, but I'm looking into it.
Until then you can donate HERE
1USD IS ABOUT 20CZK
There is a sum of 300czk automatically set but you can edit how much you wanna donate. So far it's possible to only use your credit/debit card, Google pay or transfer, but I'm looking into it.
IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP! IF YOU CAN'T, PLEASE SHARE!
