I once farted so loudly in my sleep that it woke me up. Not a tornado in the strictest sense though.

Whoops my spelling

Firstly thanks for your reports

Anyway dispite the media hype is seems that only one of these events was actually a tornado (Farnborough) - This afternoon I investigated the Nuneaton event (which was reported as having the worse damage from all the events) However I found it to be a dud - it was a high wind event for sure, but not from a Tornado.

It was no wonder that none of the news channels wanted to speak to me - even through SKY had some "expert" on camera that was explaining to the muppet presenter all about the UK's "tornado ally" in the Midlands.

Off camarea I told them both it was NOT a tornado but I was soon wisked away by some producer hotty.

Anyway my prelim report is here.. make up your own minds...

REALLY strong winds and rain battered West Nottingham from 6.10 - 6.30 this morning.

It was quite weird - Mr Cojak decided to take the car instead of his usual bike ride, but by the time we got up the winds and rain had stopped. He was able to go to work by bike...

Waved goodbye to my wife, it was raining a bit, and the wind was a bit blustery... nothing to get worried about. 1 minute later, turned a corner, and Kapow! soaked to the skin in about 10 seconds, and nearly blown off my feet. The perils (apart from the usual) of being near Luton!

Top story on Sky news today! - I am off to investigate the Nuneation event this afternoon.
