    Not sure that's a good idea, judging by how excited they get there when snow hits, several heart attacks may occur with such a clip :D

    We can be storm chasers like Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, who has a van? Also we're going to need a big container that looks like R2D2 and a load of ball bearings.

    It says it was this morning (14/04/2012) at around 7am. Don't know why the YouTube time stamp says published 13/04/2012.

    More twisters hit Britain then the southern states of the USA according to QI and seeing we have roughly the same weather pattern it must be true for us as well.

    But how come I never seen one, I would like to.

    It was just before 7 this morning. There was also some major thunder and lightening ( thought the roof was being torn off the house ) and hail stones like marbles pelting off the windows and doors.

    Maybe wherever YouTube is hosted is enough hours behind that it was still the 13th :)

    That's no tornado. It's a water spout, not the same thing at all at all at all.

    Oklahoma and Kansas alone record more tornadoes a year than Britain. I imagine that statistic you read was based on tornadoes per square mile. Also there are huge parts of the US where tornadoes don't occur or rarely occur. Whereas they can occur anywhere in Britain due to it's size.

    Its still a type of tornado. At least it wasnt one of those wind funnels or whatever they're called that are just cylinder shaped gusts of wind not connected to clouds at all that we get here.

    I saw the whole thing out the window and it did make landfall, for about 0.5 seconds, threw up a swirl of grass or something and then collapsed. The lightning afterwards was pretty intense though.

    I have recurring nightmares about swarms of destructive tornadoes hitting Ireland. I was always under the impression that the only place in the world that had a serious tornado problem was North America. Not true apparently.

    I don't remember hearing of tornadoes in little Erin in the days of my youth when we scampered home from school through the fields barefoot and fancy free.

    This is an ominous development. Ominious I tell you!! It's a sign that we have abandoned God and the Mother Church :eek::(:pac:
