  8. I live on the top floor of a tower block in West Yorkshire and it was wild last night. It kept me from sleeping. I hope everyone is alright and it's calmer tonight.

  12. It peeled a singular roof off a singular house. The neighbours were completely undamaged. There was something seriously wrong with the roof on that house that all the papers are highlighting.

  14. How about they STOP all the weather modifications and cloud seeding programs they have running.

    How do we know they are not causing more damage.

    Oh yes AS A NARRATIVE SITE YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT, ARE YOU.

    Oh wait I need to go to a REAL JOURNALISTS DOING REAL JOURNALISM site for that information.

  19. I wonder what these houses are worth now in value has England keeps pushing the house prices up, some of these people may not even have insurance,.

  20. tornado isn't a dirty word, you can say it, no need for the mini. Small would be an acceptable term for all the adults that watch the news as the news isn't usually every child's first choice
