Storm Gerrit wreks through home as ‘tornado’ hits Manchester
Footage shows the extent of damage from Storm Gerrit after a ‘tornado’ damaged properties in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester on Wednesday night.
A tornado destroyed 100 homes and sparked evacuations as Storm Gerrit triggered chaos across Britain.
A “supercell thunderstorm” crossed Greater Manchester on Wednesday causing widespread damage to properties, the Met Office said.
The forecaster said that radar evidence showing a “strong rotating updraft” suggested that a tornado was “likely”.
Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to “numerous reports of significant damage” to homes in Stalybridge, Tameside, at around 11.45pm due to a “localised tornado”.

What does the weather and the news have in common?
They’re both manipulated.

A tornado hits Manchester, and did 25 million quid's worth of improvements.
Omg its climate change, or maybe its god. I don't know. Quick lets all buy electic cars and turn vegan.
Why is it that when USA have tornadoes and hurricanes it's standard news, but when a single house in UK gets hit with strong wind it's absolutely breaking news, drama queens
i mean come on the bin didnt even fall over i highly doubt 100 homes were "destroyed". drama queens
i live on the south coast no wind or rain today we have been lucky
and Gerrit they did
They are lucky it wasn't a category five tornado.
Wreks ????

This is absolutely nothing new.
Unsecured Ladder blown over – Loose tiles falling off a roof, grass and trees swaying, its like a armageddon movie, will we all still be here in the new year?
Legacy media! And what a legacy! LOL! 😀
Fun fact, Britain is hit by more tornadoes per area every year than any other place on earth, however they generally do not reach the category needed to class them as significant, 95% being only F0s or F1s, with the remaing 5% being F2s.
That was quick.
Wow… you call that a tornado!! Lmao…. go to usa now they have tornadoes.
The Moss Side massive drove through Central Manchester …
Luckily it only did £2.50 worth of damage though it'll take the city of Manchester at least 3 weeks to save that much up.
My garden chairs flying to the end of the garden an i live in the south, Ascot Berkshire .😢
Oh no, such devastation, they are going to have to pick the ladders up, there must be a go fund me for this!
