Blimey - what's Belgian for "The Great Plains" - very reminiscent of a
US tornado pic!

And me! It immediately reminded me of the much shown footage of the
tornado that charged through a US air base, and a car park...

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.



6 photos of damage from this tornado on the website of the Belgian public TV
station VRT

Location is around Braine-le-Comte about 35 km SW of Brussels

Several farms in the villages of Petit-Roeulx-lez-Braine and Hennuyeres
were badly damaged by this tornado - one so severely that it will
probably have to be demolished.

elsewhere.-reading the forum are any doubts expressed there?

The originals of these photos are on the Belgian Dutch-language forum
http://www.weerwoord.be .

Their authenticity was apparently called into question on the German
Wetterzentrale Forum which I have not looked at. Karel Holvoet is a well
known and highly respected weather enthusiast in Belgium. No poster on the
Belgian forum doubted that the photos were genuine.
