Six people were injured when a tornado swept through a London street leaving a trail of destruction and damaging about 40 houses.
Rooftops were ripped off and cars were badly damaged as the freak weather hit Kensal Rise in north-west London.
One man suffered a serious head injury and five people were treated at the scene for minor injuries and shock.
Eleven fire crews were called to Chamberlayne Road, which has been cordoned off because of the debris.
Witnesses said there was heavy rain and sleet, then debris flying through the air.
I know this nothing compared to the ones you have in the US but I figured it was worth a mention since it's rare we get one quite so big. It's all over Sky News at the moment and lots of houses are missing walls. I feel sorry for all those people that won't be able to live in their damaged homes at Christmas.
