Freak storm in Millfield, Sunderland

Post by monty »

I was in Millfield, Sunderland yesterday when all of a sudden a freak storm crept up on me. The rain wasn't that heavy but the wind that came with it was incredible. I witnessed a few trees bend really badly all the dead leaves on them were blown off and the branches were blown backwards making them look like a blow wave hairstyle lol.

This lasted just a few minutes and then it was gone. I have never seen anything like this before and if you were in the house you probably would have missed it. Did anyone else notice this?

I can confirm what monty is saying is fact. It came and went after a few minutes. No warning before and when it went it went sudden. I wasn't in Millfield but close enough so whatever it was came my way too.


..... and Sunderland, the underdogs, are in the lead!
