Hopefully it will fizzle out some, but dumps tins of water in the dams!

Yeah just saw this.... WOW, not very often we hear of a tornado making it into a warning. I have only ever heard of it about three times.

Let us know when you come out the other side - we are worried for you, and hope it misses you and that all will be well.

Cheers

Lee was right.
It's fizzled out now.
I really hope that those who copped it stayed safe.

Good news to hear you didn't get hit; bad news that the catchments didn't get any rain!

Cheers

Australia's supposed to get a fair few each year as well, but they mostly hit unpopulated areas so don't cause the damage that would occur in the UK or US.
If I didn't have the kids with me yesterday, I would have driven over closer to the storm. I'd love to see a tornado!
