The recent talk gave the participating entities insight into the impacts of violent tornadoes. Part of the presentation was the case of 24 June 2021 over Czechia, when 6 persons died and hundreds were injured in an F4 tornado. Even more people were killed in the historical tornado event of the year 1916, when 34 persons died in another F4 tornado that struck the northern neighborhoods of Wiener Neustadt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8755-1024x569.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8755-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8755-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8755-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8755-500x278.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>From left to right: Markus Biffl (Head of City Administration Wiener Neustadt), Alois M.
