Grammar
Please correct
Hello,
Please help me to correct these sentences:
6. In the middle of the photo is a tornado and some houses.

7. People are frightened of natural disasters because they cannot predict the time or the place which will be struck by a tornado.
I hope you will help me. Thank you in advance!
