    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...

    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!
