A woman makes a call while standing in a fallen tree in Nicosia, September 18, 2009. A freak tornado ripped through Cyprus on Friday, injuring at least 11 people and wreaking havoc in the capital Nicosia, police said. The whirlwind accompanied by hammering rain tore off rooftops and uprooted trees which smashed into cars during rush hour traffic.
