Here is another one showing a second storm which followed the first along a
similar track
http://www.skystef.be/movies/20061001b.htm



Location of the photographer is Steenokkerzeel near Brussels Airport.
Location of the storms is towards Antwerp. Another tornado associated with
one of these storms - I think the first - caused substantial damage in
Duffel - about 15 km SE of Antwerp - and in the village of Koningshooikt
about 10 km east of Duffel. Dozens of houses were damaged and an estimated
6000 sq. m. of glass in glasshouses was destroyed.

station VRT
