Quite how the weather-guessers missed the violence of the storms, I don't know. Looking to the west of BEagle Towers late yesterday afternoon I have never seen scud cloud rolling with such energy - and it looked for al the world as though a revolving storm was building. As it all tracked NNE it was certainly on the way towards Banbury.....
The danger to aviation was obvious - how does the Met Office keep getting it so wrong?
Hope that the Austers will soon be repaired - sorry to hear of your disaster.
