China: Tornado Hits Xinyi in Maoming, Sparks Fly as Power Lines Knocked Down

This is the terrifying moment that a tornado swept through Maoming, sending sparks flying as it likely tore down power lines. On Tuesday, May 20,2025, between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m., the video showed a powerful tornado forming in Lixu Community, Yudu Subdistrict, Xinyi City. Dark clouds churned overhead as the twister tore across the area, with visible sparks suggesting that electrical wires had been brought down in the chaos. The swirling column of wind stirred dust and debris, while frightened voices were heard in the background as the tornado intensified. According to on-site confirmation by staff from the Xinyi Meteorological Bureau, the tornado caused damage in parts of the city, particularly to a furniture factory housed in a metal structure. The video ended with the tornado moving further into the distance, leaving behind a trail of wreckage and anxious onlookers.
