Living in Burnt Oak (soon to be moving) we were a little bit closer to
the action. When the
storm struck I was in the loft clearing out our stuff before we leave
for good. Being a bit of
a weather nerd I had a bit of a inkling that perhaps being up in the
loft wasn't such a great
idea at that time so got down from there to have a look at the action.
We were fortunate that
the tornado hit a few miles south west (ish) from us, but I hate to
think what it would have
been like if a tornado struck whilst I was in that loft!
