I'm sure we had a tonado in York this morning!! I was walking to my office from the station - wet, but not exceptionally so and with just a little wind ..... then all hell broke loose!! Very sudden, very strong and noisy wind, hail-stones the size of petit-pois so heavy it made it look foggy - then gone, as suddenly as it arrived! Definitely fit the description of the type of tornadoes that are most common in the UK.
