As I turned on the Fox News this morning, I saw that a Tornado has hit North London, how is that possible there are no trailer parks there. Oh, it must be President Bush and Karl Rove's miracle weather machine the same one that brought Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans.
These are sad natural instances but the Democrats will turn it around somehow and blame President Bush. It must be nice to own a Weather Machine what do you think?
A tornado has hit a North London street, injuring six people and severely damaging houses, cars and street furniture.
One man was taken to hospital with a head injury and five people were treated at the scene for minor injuries and shock.
Eyewitnesses said the tornado lasted only a few seconds, but it ripped off entire roofs and tore down the walls of houses.
Emergency services were sent to the scene at Chamberlayne Road in Kensal Rise after reports came in at 11am.
Resident James Miles told Sky News the experience had been "very, very frightening".
"I was talking outside with a friend when all of a sudden there was a flash of lightning and a huge big bang, then two minutes later this horrendous tornado shot right across," he said.
Tornado struck in seconds
"Slates were flying everywhere onto people's houses and cars.
"It's really nasty. A lot of people are shaken up. It's not the sort of thing that happens in central London."
Sky News weather forecaster Francis Wilson explained that tornadoes were caused by storm clouds, and could generate winds in excess of 100mph.
"Warm air at the bottom and cold at the top is a recipe for unstable weather, which is what's happened here," he said.
Hail and thunderstorms were reported elsewhere across London.
