Apologies if this has been posted already.

it was pretty real out there earlier.

does england normally get tornadoes?

nu-uh

it’s like harry potter!

It looked freaking dark as hades over North London as the train rolled into Blackfriars this morning, but we didn’t get any worse than torrential downpours and high rains which is pretty much par for the course for this time of year in London.

Tornados, however, no.

had a mini-tornado in Ruislip several years ago. it was terrible. we had to drink toilet water.

what the fuck?

couldn’t you just go to, i dunno, ickenham or some shit?

no, our entire road was covered with twigs plus a few rogue roof tiles. for days. but nobody cared because we were just a tory suburb, not picturesque boscastle.

blimey.

does england normally get tornadoes?

Yes, on average 33 a year, and by area has the highest frequency of tornadoes per year. Though most are small, fairly harmless features or occur in rural areas.

That’s from the TORRO website btw

come for the mini-tornadoes, stay for the bi-annual 4.6 richter scale quakes.

The one in Birmingham last year was quite good. Got on a few front pages as well, surprisingly.

so who pays for the repairs? insurance companies be anxious

When is the plaque of locusts due?

my thread was better.

i esp. liked the ‘yeeha’

thank you! i’ll be here all week.

srsly tho i have not noticed any trailer parks in london yet, i think y’all are safe.

We had the gales, showers and thunder round Chelsea way but no tornado as such.

No gags about soundtrack being “Do You Come Here Often?” by the Tornados either.
