London Tornado

I know these are pretty common in texas, but we rarely get big tornados in this country at all; let alone in a built up area like this.

There are actually between 30-40 a year, but most of them happen in the midlands in fields and they're not so powerful. There was one that happened in Birmingham last year that did a lot more damage than this one, but this one gets the attention because it hit London. The crazy thing is that this one lasted less than a minute and managed to do quite a bit of damage for a F1...

Time to bring over the 4-Warn Doppler Radar...
