So today we had a small 'tornado' right outside our office. Its impossible to know exactly what it was, but the sudden weather certainly seemed like the tail end of a hurricane from somewhere...

Our office is on the same junction where the falling bricks and chimneys were, though we escaped damage as far as we know. There's a charity shop directly opposite us too which had desks and chairs sat outside, and seeing those just swept into the air was insane. Thankfully no one was more seriously hurt, especially where the bricks came down along the high street and where the hairdressers had its windows blown through, but it was certainly an unbelievable moment over in about 30 seconds.

Hopefully tomorrow will be normal!

I'm glad nobody was badly injured! Given the reports (yours and on the link) together with the Estofex L1 warning for most of the UK I'd say that you can dispense with the quotes: it probably was a tornado.
