    A tornado caused damage to a house and van in Portlaoise on Tuesday evening, June 21st at around 8.30pm.

    Does anyone have information on this? What part of town did it hit?

    There was another tornado last night near the Vickerstown area. I watched it from my car somewhere near emo. It was quite a distance away but I could definitely see the funnel cloud which extended from a huge black cloud about 6pm yesterday evening. Anybody else see this? It was unmistakably a tornado. I've watched too many episodes of storm chasers to know the difference:D
