Only labour can stop climate change real leadership
The tribulation is here now be prepared 😮
Not the only place, it struck Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire as well.
North Yorkshire suppose to be getting hit today but I hope everyone is ok
Whe are ppl going to open their minds to engineered weather?? Tornadoes do not occur in England!
What the absolute ** 😂😂
Look how it's being twisted by fake news – 'a tornado' not just strong winds anymore
Another attempt to push the climate change hoax
Are tornadoes common in the U.K. ?
Weather lords FO.
Weather control is real
Isn't it rooves not roofs
Few more years more and more people will open their eyes to what we are doing to this planet
ITS THE RELIGION OF PEACE ONCE AGAIN.
It's Geoengineering.
2 hours later sun shining nah this countries weather
I am always shocked at the speed motorist drive on dangerous roads and conditions. Why?
Not a tornado ffs.
I see the weather of peace is at it again.
no they are rare in uk
If they built roads properly and flat they wouldn't have swimming pools every where…
Quality of housing is rubbish
It's up north so i imagine £1.53 worth of damage
Its because of immigration, the winds are getting stronger.
My shed roof blew off south coast , hope money is raised. HAARP is busy .
Wheelie bins going down the street……wooooooooooooo 😂
That's what happens, when paddy build's your conservatory.
"These winds are the strongest on earth".
My arse.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny how all the damage is on new builds
And they call us southerners soft… lol
Looks like the most house damage was to that new build estates, no surprise there.
Looks like a scene from Gaza ,hope they are ok and found shelter
There was a squall line in the Northwest accompanied by plenty of lightning-indicative of strong convection and instability, no suprise there was a tornado
Good old quality breeze block builds – whoops!
‘Act of God’
"Tornado hits Greater Manchester, damage estimated to be in the tens of pounds"
Blimey
But I thought we have nice warm calm weather in the UK due to climate change.
O m g😮
बहुत ही भयावह तस्वीरें है परन्तु किसी के हताहत नहीं होने का समाचार आया तो राहत हुई क्योंकि घरों के नुकसान हुआ उसे दुबारा बना सकते हैं परन्तु कोई इंसान मर जाए तो उसे जिंदा नहीं कर सकते
won't somebody please think of the landlords profit margins?!
Weather ffs
I drove my truck on 2 wheel past Manchester through the night!😮
