A tornado hit northern Argentina yesterday, killing four and injuring over 100 more. Those killed included a 1, 19, 28, and 87 year old. Among the injured 10 more are listed in critical condition. The serious injuries included blows to the head, fractured limbs, and internal injuries. This obvioulsy means that some people were not prepared for this tornado and did not take appropriate action for safety. Most likely the people who were killed or hurt have lower incomes and did not have a sturdy enough place to take shelter. Among the 10,000 residents of the town 80% are still without electricty or cell-phone service. Those with damaged homes have been able to take shelter in nearby schools and churches though.
