Tornado in London earlier.

Post by Willsy »

Taken from Yahoo news...

Tornado tears through London street Thursday December 7, 01:04 PM

At least six people were injured when a tornado ripped through a London suburb.

One man was taken to hospital with a head injury and five people were treated at the scene for minor injuries and shock.

The tornado struck Chamberlayne Road in Kensal Rise, north west London, damaging several buildings and cars.

Police were alerted to the "mini tornado" in north west London, a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said.

A number of buildings, cars and street furniture were damaged in what one resident described as "some sort of cyclone".
Scotland Yard said the tornado had passed but the London Fire Brigade and Ambulance Service were still at the scene.

Tim Klotz, who works in entertainment and film and has recently moved to the street, said it happened right in front of his house.

The 34-year-old, who is originally from New York, said it then went "a bit dark" so he went downstairs and heard a smash at the front of his house.

He said: "My house was very lucky because there was only a broken window and some damaged roof tiles but another house had its roof peeled off and fences had come down along the street.

"It was right in front of my house. I must have been right in the middle of it. There are police and fire services here now but I cannot see any fires. A few people are shaken up but there is no sign of anyone actually injured."



:shock:

Anyone see it?

no but there was like a hurricane in Penryn/Falmouth that lasted for like 2 minutes. It was quite sunny, then with the sun still shinning there was 40-60mph winds and terrentual rain. But then 2 minutes later it was normal sun again.
