Isle of Wight 'tornado' captured in dramatic video footage
A tornado has been captured on camera sweeping across the Isle of Wight.
Building materials were blown about 30m by the wind at Sandown Bay Holiday Centre in Yaverland, and a roof was ripped off at a nearby derelict building,Paul Knightly, head of the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation , said he was "pretty confident" the incident on the island was a tornado after looking at footage and pictures.
He said: "The sea over the summer heats up and it holds that heat for a lot longer than the air does - so what you've got is warm air and cool air above it. Mr Russell said he had found damaged trees around the Bembridge area that suggested the tornado could have travelled for between three and five miles.A spokesperson for the Met Office said tornadoes in the UK were usually "relatively narrow and short-lived affairs typically lasting for only a few minutes".
