9. Comoro Tornado(1951)

    The archipelago of Comoros of the eastern coast of Africa was struck by a deadly tornado in 1951. The twister started as a waterspout and gained strength and intensity as it struck land and killed an estimated 500 people. Other details are not known since the island nation was still under foreign rule. Hence, getting the exact location and statistical data wasn’t feasible.
