what tyres for night riding in a tornado?

Huh! Huh! Huh! Tornados are cool.

if the area circled in red is at risk, it would help if they could be a bit more specific!

tornado cornholio FTW!

Just had a comedy downpour here – no tornados though.

I'm off to a festival tomorrow – camping, in gale force winds and poruing rain – joy, joy, joy 🙂

Major headwind and heavy rain on the ride to work this morning, clothes all dried on the radiator for the tailwind driven blast home.

Bound to have changed direction by now, by around 180 degrees…

I normally seem to get a headwind both ways.. like the on/off shore breeze effect.

rubbish!

So hope we have a mean storm though 😀

No hills here but it is windy whichever direction!

Nah it's still blowing from the east here, been a fairly good tailwind home the past two days, which is unusual. But much, much windier today.

I normally get headwinds home, but very little tailwind in, I much prefer a headwind in the morning and a blast home.

So how do you doing MTBing…?!

THREATS

Tornadoes; hail to 15mm diameter; CG lightning; wind gusts

What is CinnamonGirl lightning?

Im moving house at the weekend can somebody arrange for it to be dry by friday night as the only van I can get is a flatbed!

Thanks.

the met office aren't giving any weather warnings about tornados. It'll be interesting to see what actually blows by

It's just gone dark in Ellesmere Port and the clouds have burst.

Joy…

[edit] Thunder and lightning now. Whoopy-effin-do.

The sky has just darkened over Dronfield and the thunder/lightning has started. Luckily I am working from home today 😉

Just got home from work. The last hr was proper biblical give Noah a ring rain!!!

quality storm akshun over France just now

Just had a brief thunderstorm in Carlisle, nothing to write home about though.

Haven't had a decent thunderstorm with proper forked lightning for ages.

Sky's just gone as black as a preachers soul here in Rochdale…. 8)

Sky went black at 5.20 in south yorks, finished work at 5.45, rode home in the biggest torrential down pour we've had in a while, strong winds, fork lightning, crashing thunder, on the final road home the water came up to the middle of my chainset. . . .the flood patch was only around ten metres long in a dip in the road but it's a while since it's been that high! Anyway, home for 6.20, quick shower and some play time with my boy and it's now 7.30, we've got glorious sunshine, blue skies, hardly no clouds and the winds died down. . . . . I fookin love the randomness of a good British summer, honest!

Got chased round the hayfield area by a thunderstorm this evening – its not the flash crack that freaked me out its the fizz thut.
