Angel, thank you for the information you posted. I did not know that tornadoes occurred in Bulgaria.
Are tornadoes somewhat common in your country?
Do you have any pictures you could post here in Storm Track?
Thank you. Joel Ewing

tornado in Bulgaria

Hi,

> I did not know that tornadoes occurred in Bulgaria.

not common... not more than 1-2 tornadoes per year in Bulgaria + 1-2 waterspouts in August over Black Sea.

this days we have a lot of floodings... closed highways and rail networks... to bad for us...
