Tornado hits NW London

[Garden Carpet]

I read somewhere.. could have been the discovery channel (or Readers Digest) that we have more tornados per acre than America.

It is pretty gusty here just now. I have a tin roof on my cottage.. and boy is it flexing. It takes a lot to worry me but I have a feeling summat is gonna go tonight... and I have to put a weight on my chihuahua to prevent him being blown away

I was in a uni minibus on route to a field trip at Kew Gardens....we didnt SEE the tornado but everything suddenly went black and we were in a fierce hail storm and wind..I was actually dozing and it suddenly woke me then we witnessed a large crane get struck by lightning which some initially thought was a flare or firework being let off?

As a result Kew was very very windy, wet and dark .


oh well....i shall return in the summer for a proper look. It was that bad that all the pea hens and peacocks kept making a beeline for the inside of the visitors shop and cafe we were sat in !
