In Bicester they often come down Blenheim Drive.

"according to Nuneaton and Bedfordshire Borough Council."

Would that be the same as Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough council?

Hullablue, Nuneaton,

we in england are so lucky that we don't have the monster tornadoes that appear in other countries, with devastating effect. Tornadoes in England are also quite a rarity. It does annoy me when people have always got to comment on how much bigger and better their tornadoes are compared to ours, get a bloody life.

steve, manchester,

I live in Nottingham and while nowhere near the tornado you could definately feel the wind picking up. Hope no one was injured.

M. Hoeber, whats your point, the USA has bigger tornados than we do, so what, your medals in the post. This is news for us, if you dont like it go read the New York Times.

Dan, Nottingham,

Presumably "global warming" will get the blame as usual.......

MarkS, Leeds,

Re:
Your tornado was described as being in the "UK".
Coulda sworn I remember those places as being in England.

A tornado of any size is very frightening. I live in one of the "tornado alley" areas of the states. In 1998 an F-5 tornado (the highest rating on the Fujita scale) touched down about 15 miles from my town. It not only destroyed everything in its path, it literally took the top layer of soil from the ground! Sadly, many people lost their lives that night. It has taken years for the area to rebuild and even today, almost ten years later, there are still visible scars to remind us of the complete devastation.

I'm very happy there were no serious injuries as a result of the UK tornadoes. Property can be replaced; people can't.

Luton which was also effected is in the county of Bedfordshire, hence the reference to Bedforshire Borough council

When you have a tornado in Britain that is a mile wide and travels hundreds of miles, destroying everything in its wake, and I do mean everything, then you can talk about tornados. But a minor damage and a car or two being overturned is nothing, really, compared with what a major tornado can do. Tornados here are so powerful that they have ripped up even the slabs that houses are set on, after having completely demolished the house, and in fact they have not infrequently destroyed whole towns. Britain may have more tornados per unit area than the United States, but believe me, your damage is as nothing compared to what happens here.

Still, please accept my sympathy for anyone who suffered any loss in your recent tornado outbreak.

i feel so lucky im not there

scott, romsey, england

I think that should be Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council not Bedfordshire as Nuneaton is in Warwickshire. Speaking of which, how could anyone reasonably tell if a tornado had hit it?

Ken Martin, Brighton, UK

I'm interested to know if this was a series of F-1 tornadoes (on the Fujita scale). Living here in the States, we are used to those, along with F-2's, but when you get to the F-3's, those will take out entire towns. Our thoughts and prayers to everyone in the UK who have had damage and loss.
