English term

was leveled to matchsticks

English to Portuguese Other Other
Daytime becomes night as the tornado passes through the city. In just minutes it’s laid waste to the entire school.

When I opened the door and went into the hallway I thought everything around this strong concrete building has got to be gone. When I saw the parking lot it was wiped completely clear of all cars and the neighborhood across the street was just leveled to matchsticks as far as the eye could see.
