This photo published in the press shows last nights Tornado, which struck very close to the skyscraper in Yermasoyia/Limassol area, leading to a lot of damage to EAC's electricity network there.
I wonder how much the people living at higher apartments felt the storm in that building.....

It looks like it was pretty bad there -
‘Biblical damage’ in Limassol following intense weather overnight
Intense weather overnight, including at least two tornados, resulted in scenes dubbed as “biblical destruction” in Limassol on Wednesday.
Interior Minister Konstantinos Ioannou is visiting the affected areas, including Germasogeia which was particularly hard hit by the extreme event.
In a statement after his town hall briefing with local authorities and services, the minister noted that temporary hotel accommodation and other
help had been arranged for families whose homes were wrecked.

If we had a bad storm in Paphos I slept through it...

Well, I woke up from rumbling thunder very close and noisy at my place above Paphos just 1/2 hour before the Tornado happened in Limassol and unplugged electricity to computer and PV- inverter in my office in case the house gets struck from lightning.... and went back to sleep.
