A tornado ripped through several villages on Indonesia's Sumatra island, killing at least two people, damaging hundreds of homes, and fatally knocking over a cow, a disaster official said Thursday.
Another six people, most with serious injuries, were taken to a hospital after the tornado touched down late Wednesday in Lampung province's Tulang Bawang district, said Raditya Jati, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman.
Officials were still evacuating villagers from affected areas on Thursday so they could clear debris.
