Hi my name is Lee and this is the first video i've ever up loaded on youtube(had nothing worth putting up before) and it was filmed on 8th July 2011 at 3.15pm. I was just looking out the window minutes before this happened and having seen so many other videos of tornadoes/twisters on youtube I recognise the cloud movement as what could be the start of a tornado. That's when I grab my camera and started filming luckily just seconds before the twister started to form.
This film footage was featured on BBC Northwest Tonight and was describe as a funnel cloud not a twister as it didn't touch down.But conflicting reports(Bolton news website) suggest it did touch down in Westhoughton which is about 3-4 miles away from where this was filmed and cause a little damage to some roof tops and tossed some garden furniture around.
I would like to apologize for the sound track it is pretty bad as the original audio was just me saying "bloody hell a tornado" lol and there is no wind or thunder sounds too so i just used youtubes free audio changer.
Please feel free to use clips and still pictures on other websites. I know this isn't as good as some of the other videos particularly the ones you see in U.S.A but for England this is pretty cool stuff and I hope you enjoy it.
