Batten down the hatches and stock up on tinned bully beef and bottled water As I said, an excellent reason for living in the UK! Hope it passes without causing too much damage |

Andrew. About 30-years ago I had borrowed my son's motorbike, and was pottering along somewhere North of Swindon. A big, dark cloud was looming somewhere to the East of me so I parked up and sat down to watch it. A twister dropped from the cloud and was heading vaguely towards me. Being innocent in such matters I sat and watched as several hay-bales were sucked up and tossed many yards to the side of the column. It was obviously time to move-on, so I did. |

That must have been a thrill! |

Yes we've had VERY small 'twisters' but nothing like the scale of the old 'yellow brick road' |

Not normal in this state either, Andrew. Well that last storm turned into a dud. Not even a quarter inch of rain. Not that I'm complaining! Spent the day the day on tractor running the brush hog over the "lawn". |
