Tornado in North-west London
A pretty ferocious tornado caused damage to over 100 properties in the Kensal Rise area of North-west London this morning.
Apparently, there are many homeowners who are still at work and unaware that their homes have been severely damaged. Full story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6217514.stm |

It's just that they are usually quite weak.

Pah, another BBC link so I can't see what's happened ( BBC is blocked )
/me runs to news.google.com instead  I agree with the above poster - we do get a fair few, it's just they tend to be in remote country places so we hardly hear about them.
