tornados in the uk just 100miles north of london, uk..... Wtf??

No, not really, we dont generally have tornadoes in the UK, they have happened in the past but not frequently

A link for ya,
[link to www.bbc.co.uk]

Thats mental. I live in glasgow, and i do remember some nasty storms but never to that degree. Added to the fact our weather usually ends up worse up here..... Fun and games :s

Tornado's are actually common in the UK, even in London.

On 8 December 1954 the station was damanged by a tornado which ripped off the roof and injured six people. Almost exactly fifty-two years later, another tornado hit London, damaging several properties in the Kensal Rise area on 7 December 2006.

The station = Gunnersbury station (West London)

Cheers, have some karma :)

this is a prelude of what's to come...

Learn your facts. We have more tornados than the USA, they are small and short lived thankfully.

Cheers, back ay ta.

Oh and seen quite a few in my time, they didn't do any damage.

No need to be nippy, i'm aware the midwest is quite famous for its tornados.

It's the first i've heard of one here, hopefully its a one off like the few you've all posted about here, just a bit odd given the freaky weather we've had recently!

rude,rude...very rude!!

I saw a tornado around 100 metres from our house a few years back, it hadn't touch down but did so about a mile away. metre for metre, yard for yard, the uk has more tornado's than anywhere else in the world, they are just really small one's that cause no damage.

We do not get more tornadoes then america... LEARN YOUR FACTS ASS HOLE.

Well these ones did!

He's telling you the truth !

replying to my own comment as I can't alter it. The the area of land we have more.

I m in Essex and the weather today has nt been that bad...yesterday though it was raining sooooo hard and the wind was howling......overcast here now !

AGhhhh you beat me to it, I learnt it from QI.

2 in 52 years is not common, fuck me if the wife only allowed sex twice in 52 years would you think thats common ?

I agree we do get many of them but they are usually so small/weak they are insignificant.

I've personally seen two strong enough to damage roofs in my lifetime. I've also seen many very weak ones where cut grass or leaves are in a funnel rotating around and upwards. So weak you can stand in the middle of it.

They rarely get reported and even the ones I saw damaging roofs only got mentioned in the local news and nothing national.

I've lived by the sea for many years and I've seen one Waterspout as well. That was really cool because you can so clearly see it

Surprised none of the brainless morons on here have started reciting some part of the bible and saying it's gods will.

What baffles me is that all the hailstorms lately have been TOTALLY overlooked and ignored. You guys in England even had some pretty serious size hailstorms recently. Not a peep about those.

Right this minute, in the USA, the radar is reporting 5-10 rather large hailstorms (1.25 inch hail) as we speak. Sun isn't even up yet.

Not to get off topic. These are related, hail and tornados. that is.

Anyone have any large at your locale?

The US is still in bed, you wont get that until they get up

I was in Mersey in 2002, I'm not sure what it was called, but when the tide goes out and you can walk right out over the ocean floor, I was quite far out when I heard what was like a train behind me. I turned around and saw a twister heading right for me. I started running for the shore, and the weirdest thing happened. I put my head down to run and when I looked up, I was on the shore, although it should have taken a hell of a lot longer for em to get there. The twister blew a few roofs off and knocked a few trees down.

My family have been going there for a couple of generations to holiday and they say they've never seen anything like it.

Twas strange indeed.

Oh, you mean like this...

Isa.17
[13] The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.


Hahahaha

Just for you...

And So Papa Smurf said unto you "Let the book called holy Surfle guide the way in times of wind and rain. Let not the devil called Smurtan turn to you to his wicked ways. The path of Smurdom is righteous and good".

Yes m8, we have had some strange stuff lately, there was a hailstorm which lasted 5 mins and left 3-4 inches on the ground, it looked like we had snow! And another one where the hail was about 3/4 of an inch in size.

I am down south, and it is VERY windy right now.
