The local BBC1 news has just shown pictures of the aftermath of a (mini
sic) tornado which hit the small town of Buncrana, Co.Donegal and about 20
miles south of Malin Head, this evening.


The imagery certainly looked quite lively over that way earlier today.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was similar activity near the north coast
of France too
