Re: TORNADO !
Wow I was actually in Sussex on Sunday morning - staying in Horsham... the weather wasn't great but I didn't notice a tornado...J.R. wrote:Just thought you might be interested to know that the Sussex tornado passed immediately over our heads in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Jan and I were staying with friends on the border of Peacehaven and Telscombe. I was awaked to the most incredible wailing whistling noise, increasing in volume, then dying out almost immediately but followed by an absolute deluge of water.
It wasn't til we turned the TV onto the local news later in the day that we saw pictures of the tornado, (water-spout), coming in from the Channel and working its way along the cliff top before fizzling out before reaching Newhaven.

Re: TORNADO !
Apparently, as soon as it made land over Telscombe Cliffs, it rapidly fizzled out.Ruthie-Baby wrote:Wow I was actually in Sussex on Sunday morning - staying in Horsham... the weather wasn't great but I didn't notice a tornado...J.R. wrote:Just thought you might be interested to know that the Sussex tornado passed immediately over our heads in the early hours of Sunday morning.
