Seems like there was a tornado in north London. Sounds kinda bad aswell....

[Simonutd]

just been watching that, its happening more and more, sign's of the times, the end is nigh

[cliffy]

I wonder if there was any funnels. Funnels are pretty cool looking but the damage they cause is terrible.

is it common or rare to have tornadoes in England?

seems like people were hurt, it was kinda wild outside earlier

it says there that britain normally gets about 30 tornadoes a year but its very rare for them to cause damage like that

[RedRabbit]

It's the rapture!!!! Repent while you can! :rolleyes:

[bluemoon]

there pretty uncommon but there seem to be a few one after the other. I have never heard one being in London though. There was one in Wales a few weeks ago wasnt there.

Today's weather was terrible, very heavy rain and the hailstones were a killer. I didn't know there were about 30 a year, I thought there were only a couple.

yeah its very strange tho! Why North London!?!:confused: anyway its just happened. Its awful weather.

Can't believe what a random day of weather it was down here. Began with pouring rain on the way to school. Then at break it suddenly went really dark like an eclipse at about 11 then there was a really sudden HEAVY downpour of hailstones which killed. Then it was sunny but freezing. And then on the way home from school there was a sudden gale of wind and down came the rain again, tons of it i got absolutely drenched!

And then to hear there was a tornado in NW just topped it off :eek:
