Reports of a Tornado near York this morning.

Apparently, the northern/eastern section of the York ring road ground to a halt as people stopped their cars and looked at what was described as a tornado.

A farmer has said he was lifted off the ground with his cattle trailer by a tornado in North Yorkshire - the second "twister" to hit the county in a week.

Albert Parker was sheltering by the trailer near the A64 just north east of York when he was lifted into the air and then dropped to the ground.
