Abbey: Tornado activity across England

Prasad Shastri, Head of Home Insurance Marketing at Abbey said: "Homeowners need to be prepared for the unexpected. This year has seen some varied and often turbulent weather that has caused millions of pounds worth of damage. If the recent flooding has taught homeowners anything, it is that your home is continually at risk to the unpredictable force of the elements and having the right protection for your home and its contents is an essential part of homeownership.

"The tornadoes seen early on Monday morning have thankfully not caused too much widespread damage, but we will be monitoring the weather situation very closely and should we need to, we will initiate our emergency severe weather plan to help any of our customers that require our immediate support"
