Tornado in London

[dotinthesky]

Holy Macaroni!

A tornado has struck North West London. The tornado went down Chamberlayne Road, not too far from Kilburn Lane, where I lived for a year and a half [full story here - thanks for the heads up sparklielizard].

I know that road well. We walked down it every time we visited Sainsburys or wanted to rent a movie. We also used it for reaching Queen's Park or going to our local pub. Incredible.

London looked horrible this morning, with rain and darkness everywhere. The downpour disappeared on my way to work, then returned with a few thunderstorms and black clouds. An hour later, the sky was blue.

Question for any Brits reading this: have tornados ever appeared in London before?

I hadn't heard of any ones on this scale before, but apparently there have been. : /
I was listening to the news and the interviews with families returning to their cordoned off homes to collect personal belongings. Not that I remember this, but it sounded like a moment from the blitz.
I hope you are keeping warm and safe from the winter weather, lovely.

We are fine, up on our concrete tower block. No amount of drizzly, grimy London weather can reach us. :-)

I hope NYC's blizzards are keeping well away from you. xo
