A powerful tornado swept over the small city of Dolores in Uruguay on Friday, ripping up houses, hurling cars into the air and killing at least four people, authorities said. Seven others were seriously injured.

"The president has ordered the deployment of all the resources in the state to attend to the situation in Dolores," said Juan Andres Roballo, an official with the Uruguayan president's office. The city was declared an emergency zone.

Roballo said a good part of the population had lost their homes and at least two children were seriously hurt and had been transferred to the capital for treatment.

Fire department spokeswoman Mariela Vivone told that two of the dead were killed by flying cars carried by the winds.

Local media outlets reported that some residents took advantage of the chaos to loot stores.

Roballo said that the police and military presence in the area would be increased.

TOTO IS OK!!!! (1st vid) Poor dog, I wonder if he was in a home when it hit or out and about. By the way he was moving he looked to be in good health but you could tell he was definitely freaked right the fuck out.
