I live in Kensal Green but it was actually in Kensal Rise.

The damage is quite extensive though, and it was only 500m from my house :)

I remember once - about 5 years ago - standing on the top of Monte Toro 
in Menorca (Balearics, Med) and seeing 6 separate waterspouts (the 
marine version of a tornado) at the same time, which remarkably, did not 
catch any of the many yachts around.

Perhaps they have followed me to my lair :(

Incidentally (and trivially): more energy into weather systems -> more 
likelihood of transitions over boundary conditions into new chaotic 
forms with bifurcations, period doublings etc... so more tornados to 
come, no doubt.
