I didn't realise Britain experiences over 30 tornadoes a year. Glad no-one was killed.

Re: Tornado Hits London
I was working just a few minutes away... Very windy. There was a flash of lightning which seemed to come inside (if you know what I mean? If you don't I have no idea how to explain it better! 
)
The forecast is for this month to have a lot more winds up to 100mph followed by 2 months of severe blizzards! We'll see...
I heard sometime ago that UK has the most tornadoes in the world for the land area we have. Most of course though aren't the big twisters you see in the US.

The United Kingdom has about 33 tornados each year. Oklahoma -- which is about the same size as the U.K -- has an average of 52 twisters a year, Meyers said.
