Alabama bridge collapses after heavy rain and flooding

mmmm
A portion of County Road 98 in LaFayette, Alabama, was closed after a bridge collapsed into Chatahospee Creek following heavy rain and flooding in the area on March 27.

Myles Welch recorded this video, and told Storyful he and his father were driving around looking at flood damage when they noticed the sign for the bridge had fallen off.

"So we stopped and got out. That's when we saw the ground was gone under the road," he said. "Then the pavement started cracking and that's when I started videoing the road."

In the video, someone can be heard saying "there it goes" as the last piece of road connecting the bridge falls into the muddy water.

The Chambers County Commission issued an "impassable travel advisory" on March 27, advising the public that all roads and bridges "should be considered impassable until further notice." The advisory was later lifted, but a dozen roads remained closed, including a section of County Road 98. Credit: Myles Welch via Storyful

200-foot tornado filmed in Chhattisgarh, India

mmmmmmmmm
This is the shocking moment steel plant workers had to flee a 200-foot tornado. Onlookers were forced to clear a path as the tornado, filmed in Bhilai Steel Plant, in Chhattisgarh, India, headed towards them.

One man had to stop filming as it edged closer - while others audibly panicked. Chhattisgarh had been experiencing temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius - which is thought to have brought the small tornado on. Luckily, it died down quickly and no-one was injured.

Scientist HP Chandra, of Raipur Meteorological Department - who filmed the video - believes the tornado was still "powerful" enough to pull "a car" towards it. The incident is reported to have happened on March 29, 2023.
