I hope everyone is ok. Pam-Doggirl3
Four streets were hit, six people injured and only one seriously.
Of course the properties will cost millions to repair but at least there was no loss of life. Incredible really!
Thank goodness there was no loss of life.

used to live near London but have retired to Scotland, not far north of Edinburgh.
Earlier this year Birmingham also had a tornado which actually did more damage than the London one. They have an interesting site at >

lived near London during the 1980's when we had some terrific storms. There was one October afternoon I remember pulling the sofa against the sitting room wall and cowering behind it because the cement holding the ridge tiles in place on the roof had been damaged. These heavy stone blocks then came sliding down the roof at intervals, fetching even more tiles off during their descent and landing in the garden just outside the window. Luckily my husband was out at work and my sons at school as we lost about one third of the roof that day. We eventually managed to get a tiler to mend it but for several weeks we had to manage with a tarpaulin on the roof keeping out the worst of the weather. There was a lot of damage to property so roof tilers were at a premium but no one was seriously hurt locally at that time..
Then your informant was wrong!

That's what we get for listening to stupid conservative-run CNN or FOX instead of liberal MSNBC I guess, Thanks, Auntie O! Noreen
