Luckily it hit Farnborough :)

Unluckily it didn't wipe the shithole off the map entirely :(:(

When i lived in Texas there was a lot of tornadoes..
I remember one time when I was driving into Dallas over a hugh bridge called Lake Ray Hubbard bridge, and in the distance I could see a tornado cloud...it make the city look green and ominous...it was kinda bizarre cause where we were it was beautiful and clear and then there was this clear distinction between where the good weather ended and the bad weather began...
scary stuff...

i slept though a tornado when i was 9
we lived in maryville, missouri (look it up on google earth) at the time
it was a night
there was a bad thunder storm
which really wasn't that unusual in that part of the world
i remember a low rumble
like thunder
only it went on for a little while longer

when i got up in the morning
there was a large tree resting on top of the neighbors roof.
school was canceled that day because there was a lot of trash and shit scattered across northwest missouri state university
where horce mann elementry school is located.

I was driving down the motorway very near to Breaston in Derbys at about 6:15 yesterday morning. The car was hit by a gust of wind which basically sent me into another lane. I had to slow down to 20 mph, think that was probably it. It was uncharacteristically strong.

that happened to one of my mates in one of those shitty smart cars. Flipped him right over, totally fucked him in. bought a bigger car shortly after that.

Only ever happened yesterday. I have been in gusty wind where you sway at high speeds but this was something else. That flash cunt in the 170 mph Porsche would've shat himself in this.
