Schools, homes and businesses have been cleaning up after torrential storms and a tornado struck West and North Yorkshire yesterday.
About 10 days' worth of rain fell in half an hour and some homes were trashed by the tornado in Leeds and Harrogate.
Train services were returning to normal after lightning strikes hit signals at Leeds station during Thursday's storms.
Insurance assessors were inspecting the damage caused by the
tornado, which tore off many rooves and uprooted trees.

I mean, in this part of the world we're used to miserable Bible-ass weather conditions (see various previous posts), but this is getting spooky.
I'm currently nurturing an urge to move to Los Angeles. The risk of Death By Weather is about the same as in the UK now, but you can at least be buried in beach-shorts and flip-flops.
