Aibu to ask...does anyone have information on which houses/roads have been damaged?

Looking after a relatives house up there and will need to drive up tomorrow but could do with forewarning!

Thanks!

Wait what?!

The top is off our rabbits' cage. No wonder they look a bit shocked.

Malvern Road, Harrow and Selby Road Dovedale road looked blocked earlier. Friend had a trampoline through her French doors!

We had to batten down the hatches in Wollaton this morning!

Here you go, pretty much bang central between the main roads and cricket ground and Edwalton.

Try the local fb pages.
My village in Staffordshire was very badly damaged by a likely tornado early this morning and it’s all over fb. Even been on the local news.
We got next door’s ridge tiles through our glass conservatory roof at 06.30, sounded like a light aircraft had crashed on the roof above our bedroom

It was a bit windy in Lenton, my garden furniture hasn't moved though!

Yikes. Hope it's not as bad as you fear.

Neither has mine, so it’s all good

I'm not from the areas that were hit but when we got hail and thunder this morning I wondered if there would be any tornadoes-we had one over 10 years ago so I'm a bit paranoid about them anytime we get a storm! I wish the news would stop minimising them by calling them either a mini tornado or putting tornado in quotes-it's either a tornado or it's not (apparently it could be a squall instead if there's no funnel) it doesn't feel like a "mini" anything if you're in it's path! Just a bugbear of mine. I'm glad no one was hurt and hope there is not too much damage.
