November 6, 1996
A tornado moved through the town of Moheda, Sweden, late Wednesday afternoon. It removed roofs, flipped occupied vehicles, injuring two people slightly, and caused widespread damage to trees and windows. The roofs on two buildings were blown off. A gas station attendant nearby described it this way: "I saw how the tornado lifted a whole roof. You could see the metal sheeting, roof tiles, trees, everything flew 30-40 meters straight up in the eye of the tornado and was then thrown about." Moheda is in the southwestern part of Sweden.
