Most of the people in Saragossa were attending a children’s graduation ceremony in the village school when one of the worst tornadoes in American history suddenly struck. A sudden loud whistling sound made everyone sit up as the youngest child was shaking hands with the village mayor. It was supposed to be a time of great happiness. Instead it ended in tragedy. The children were receiving their certificates when the tornado hit the village without any warning. The walls of the school building fell in while most of the parents were watching the ceremony. Tons of concrete were sent crashing down on them. Other parents were preparing a huge meal in the school kitchen at the time of the disaster. Afterwards no building in Saragossa remained standing. Out of the population of 185, at least 25 were dead and a further 112 were injured. “The whole village has gone,” said police officer Paul Deishler.“There’s nothing at all here now. It looks worse than a war zone.”1. What kind of disasters is the writer trying to show in the text?
