Anyone else get the 'mini tornado' this morning?
It'd been wet all morning here but with rain varying from drizzle to heavy and a bit of breeze. Then around 10:30 the wind began seriously gusting then near gale force with no fixed direction accompanied by torrential rain being blasted against windows etc.
Probably only lasted six or seven minutes but was tearing leaves off trees. Part of our fence came down, several neighbours have tiles off and power was off for around 40 minutes (much longer in some parts of the village). At least three roads blocked by trees.
Ten minutes after the rain stopped it was all calm and the sun shining.
Both Kings Cross and Euston main lines seriously disrupted by OHLE damage and weather sites suggest the storm front travelled wast-east across a considerable distance.
