Unfortunately but recently a huge tornado attacks one of the American cities Nashville in Tennessee; the greatest part of the infrastructure was destroyed including Omnibus Express bus station.

The Tornado Impact on ‘’Omnibus Express’
The tornado was termed tornado, and it was an EF-3 with the speed estimated to be 165 miles per hour affecting Nashville by destroying some of the residential areas and major structures. The Omnibus Express bus station was right in the line of the tornado that hit it; the structure was badly damaged. Some of the catastrophic occurrences included; roofs were stripped off, their windows were broken and some sections of the building were brought to the ground.
Immediate Consequences for Commuters
Omnibus Express bus station was operational at the time of the tornado with many passengers stuck waiting for the buses to depart. When the tornado attacked, this caught the attention of the commuter which led to stampede. Nevertheless, all the people were evacuated, and the management and the staff’s fast response minimized the losses: only some injuries. Nevertheless, the necessity of the station has been proven by the fact that its absence in the community weakens the mobility of a number of individuals.
