SOURCE: Storm Gerrit: Roofs blown off as 'tornado' strikes Stalybridge
In the UK we don't worry about tornado's. Not that we don't get them (we apparently get approx. 30 every year) but they're not usually of a strength that causes widespread damage. As such, they fly under the radar. Still a storm just came through (Storm Gerrit) and it's caused a tornado that tore a roof off a house and damaged lots of property.
No injuries thank goodness. It still reads like a strange headline to me, we're just not attuned to this type of thing here.
