OMG! Woo hoo!

It actually looks like a funnel cloud on the photo - it's only a tornado if it touches the ground. But wow, how fab!

Whoops, sorry, I should probably be saying something comforting but instead I am full of squee because I love clouds and stuff ♥

(1000 words+ and counting done of the next part of Decimated. Will send it over later :-))

Looking forward to that! I am working diligently on t'novel right now which is slowly killing me. This second draft malarkey is much harder work than I remember. :o)

Re: Tornadoes. We had a few of these last year, they never touched ground, one that did 2 years ago though, as I was telling [livejournal.com profile] callistosh65 below. They seem relatively common in our bit of Lancs.

Actually, it's in Lancashire, I'm not home at the moment, and tornadoes seem pretty common in the area. We had a few last year that stayed in the clouds and didn't touch ground and one a couple of years back that went down Brinscall high street a couple of years back, hurling bins about and shifting cars. Hardly Kansas, but fairly exciting and OMG!ish fr round here :o)

When did England start having tornadoes?

I'm with the others - who knew England had tornadoes?

Though on the other hand I was really surprised there was a tornado in Maryland. I guess I associate them with the middle of America.

Still a bit bored tbh - alas the torny was in Withnell and we are still in Yorkshire. We had some pleasingly loud thunder and a deal of rain though. ::nods. grins::

Yup, 'tis the end times for sure. :-) I'm glad it was just an interesting cloud formation with no touchdown though.

They're not that terrible when they do touch down tbh. We had one run down the main street of the village a couple of years ago. It hurled bins about, shifted cars a bit. We enjoyed the novelty. They won't be installing shelters or interrupting the telly with those annoying sirens anytime soon I don't think. :o)

My little country had loss of life to one of the damn things about four years back, so we're not so keen on the novelty value. *g* We get roof lifters every couple of years, usually in the north and west of the North Island.

We've had a few nasty ones here, too. Luckily they tend to form on high ground, up on the moors and mountains but occasionally hit towns and cities like London and Birmingham.

Give the tornado a medal for services to architecture.

We had a "little" tornado here once that ripped the roof off a grocery store and shattered the windows of all the cars in the parking lot. Took the roof off a house, too which then got filled with rain.

Luckily, no one was seriously hurt.

Yikes! Very cool since it didn't touch down, but I'm sure glad it DIDN'T, especially anywhere near you!
