Deadly tornado and storms hit south-western China
Severe storms and a tornado have killed at least 39 people near the city of Chongqing in south-western China.
State news agency Xinhua reported that at least 150 others were injured after heavy rain, a hail storm, gales and a tornado struck two rural districts.
Rescue work was underway in Liangping and Dianjiang districts, Xinhua said, and some 70,000 people were temporarily evacuated from areas near Chongqing.
The storms destroyed some 1,000 homes, damaged crops, and caused power cuts.
Local reports said almost 1,000 homes in Chongqing - a municipality of more than 30 million people - had partially collapsed and thousands more were damaged.
Our correspondent says tornadoes which kill are relatively rare in China.
