A tornado warning has been issued for the whole of Suffolk as the county continues to be battered by strong winds and heavy rain.
The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) has said that, across Suffolk and other southern parts of the UK, there might be tornados, cyclones and maybe even a "low-topped supercell or two".
This comes as Suffolk faces the wettest February on record.
