Weather is getting worse and worse with each passing year.
Condolences. Im sure the hour long clean up was frightening
We used to call these , when mem were men and women were women …GALE FORCE WINDS
Wow. My fart does more damage im sure
And i was anoyed about a powercut
Breaking news ; a street in Manchester is clean for once
Sorrrted..
Well that was riveting, but more importantly that Ring doorbell is just looking out all over a street, isn't that illegal? its impinging on peoples privacy, my neighbour has one but had to put up a high fence and put a sticker on the fence warning there was a Ring doorbell inside, so it couldn't film peoples cars and homes and bystanders.
T'tnado
I know elsewhere a few houses lost their roofs and chimneys but Ive seen more intense winds during a summer thunderstorm than in this video
A bit of wind and everyone starts crying.
I hope Manchester can recover from this
Bit of a breeze. DEFO NO TORNADO.😢😢
Tornado 🤔 I've done more damage with one of my farts 😂
Seen more damage at the pub Friday night
Tornado !!! 😂😂 !!! Bit of wind 💨
Must be climate crisis !!!
This is just insulting countries where high winds can cause devastation!
It's probably improved Manchester to be fair
Typical over hyped British news ! wouldn't surprise me if they got the footage from the BBC !!
I see no nothinf to suggest a spinning column of wind passed through anywhere in manchester. Simply high wind and and bad storm
It tickles me that the people ridiculing the storm would be the first ones on TV, papers selling their stories if their roof was ripped off during the night by a storm. People’s homes have been ruined, a couple destroyed. Have some empathy and respect. We get tornadoes here (UK holds the record for most tornadoes per square mile in the world actually) they’re smaller than the US but are still dangerous…our houses are built much more solidly than US houses thankfully (or were, don’t imagine a new build house would fair to well) but that solidity can cause more surrounding damage…hence crushed cars. I hope those affected can rebuild and insurance companies pay out for them to do so. Must be awful, especially at Christmas. 😢
An empty video? That's what you call a tornado? Maybe try google to figure out what a TORNADO actually is. Or learn a bit about journalism! What a disgrace!
Was that it? 😅
We will recover!!
Is this tornado chucking few grit over 🤣🤣. Hope resident are fine
Rip rubber plant thing
I just looked out my window, everything seems completely fine here in the SE
Passed more severe wind on the lavvy
My visions of a Tornado aftermath are some what flawed…….Where are the miles and miles of levelled houses and buried cars etc……
The poor ladder
That’s not a tornado.
stop this nightmare A.S.A.P. by paying more taxes to globalists
Tornado? 🤔 the brits are loosing their minds, 😅 I remember when the British was tough, now a strong wind is on the new around the world 🤷🏻
Seriously as a mancunian that was not a tornado 😅..that was the end result of 40 mph winds …but apparently we had an emergancy declared ..lmfao ..
That looked more like a good fart.
His wheelie bin is still standing,cant call it a tornado unless its a mile away from the house . You got of lightly there 🙂
Im waiting for the movie to come out…going to be great
Yeah, it was a tornado, not often seen in the UK. It caused damage. What was the apology for. Did you want mass destruction?
Dont you just love those swinging green mono testicle thingy's
Tornado 😂 Americans are laughing their asses of right now
You mean civilian installed government CCTV…
A strong gust of wind is not a tornado.
I've blown bigger farts.
It's just wind 🍃 you cretins, this why I've stopped watching the news
And this lady’s and gentlemen is journalism at its best 😂
