Tornado in Georgia

Georgia Sideline

For the first time in recorded history a tornado touched down in Georgia’s western coastal region of Megrelia. There were no casualties, but some 120 homes and electric power lines were heavily damaged. Due to its proximity to the Black Sea, Megrelia is known for occasional heavy winds in the winter months. However, this was the first reported tornado touchdown in Georgia’s history. Russia offered aid Saakashvili is unlikely to accept. The rumor has it that in light of recent events and mutual accusations the Russian Air Force prepared a statement in advance denying any responsibility for tornadoes, hurricanes, hail and tsunamis that may hit Georgia’s coastline.
