Tornado “Twister” hit Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, on Saturday afternoon, injuring at least four people and leaving the area without any electricity.

The twister struck Mayaguez, on Puerto Rico’s western coast, at 12:35 p.m., according to Luis Correa, a spokesman for the State Emergency Department.  A sight of Twisted scaffolding and crushed cars, and other structural damage was seen at a stadium set to host the 21st Central and Caribbean Games beginning Saturday night. The Cables were also down, which led to no power in the area. Due to this the commencement of the games, featuring hundreds of athletes in a variety of sports from more than 30 countries, has been postponed until today(Sunday). Strong winds was seen  in the area even after the tornado had passed through as workers at the stadium rushed to secure the  tents and lighting towers.

Four people were injured, out of which two of those injured were trying to escape due to fear. “They were taken to a local hospital where they are in stable condition”, said Janita Soto, a spokeswoman for the Mayaguez police.
