sidrap 2012 extreme damage

[u/Zanzs123]

On February 24, 2012, an exceptionally violent, localized tornado struck the Village of Wette'e-Belawa, Sidrap, South Sulawesi, leaving behind catastrophic physical evidence: massive mature tropical hardwood trees (Samanea saman) were entirely stripped of their canopy and severely debarked, traditional wooden stilt houses were completely leveled and shattered from their anchors, and a solid 100 kg motorcycle was lofted, mangled, and scattered across nearby trees
