Some say hurricanes or tornadoes are not possible in the center of Russia – Moscow city. However in 1904 there was an event that shocked most of the witnesses. The giant pillar of cycling air raised on the suburbs of Moscow and swept thru what is now the territory of a Moscow and was mainly the suburbs of Moscow at time.
Tens or hundreds of houses demolished, overthrown train cars and carriages. All these preceded with a hail size of a goose egg. The photo above might be the only photo of the actual hurricane pillar, however inside there are plenty of more photos of this natural event aftermath.
They say that this church was the first building on the way of the hurricane, it got its roof and the crosses on top of the domes destroyed.
A village “Chagino” (now part of modern Moscow) was totally demolished.
Lyublino Moscow district – the park around the mansion got totally wrecked.
A theater building nearby, was also damaged. The local newspaper wrote the following:
“At around 4 p.m. the park of the Lyublino gradually ceased to exist as was witnessed by the people. The trees fell down, the roofs were removed from where they belonged, the Earth trembled.”
Train station nearby got damaged. Six train cars overthrown.
The thick trees got their trunks twisted under the power of the wind.
