BELIEVE IT OR NOT.........The south east actually suffers from more tornadoes year on year than the infamous "Tornado Alley" in the US; it's just that ours tend to be fairly insignificant little things that we call dust devils.
THIS IS A REAL AND TRUE FACT!
I HAVE NOT MADE THIS UP!
HELP!! HELP!!! MY CAPS KEY IS JAMMED DOWN!!!!

It's true what you say Reverend but I wonder if it's got anything to do with global warming!

the last bad one in London was 1954 according to the news so not global warming just nature. two weather fronts joining in a particular way.

the uk has more tornadoes per square mile than america anyway. and yeah its due to teh temprature shifts causing the winds to react differently with each other.
