I've heard that there has been a tornado in Belfast today, news outlets have
been slow to pick up the story.



Found on BBC

Foul weather has led to the cancellation of an outdoor concert in
Belfast City Hall to usher in 2007.
The Rock The Hall outdoor concert was called off for safety reasons as
high winds battered Northern Ireland.

The winds, including a tornado in Couty Armagh, have caused widespread
disruption. Hundreds of homes in the Aghalee area are without
electricity.

Roads have closed in counties Antrim and Down due to fallen trees,
power lines and telegraph poles.

It is understood a roof has been blown off an apartment block in
Comber, County Down.
