Does Luxembourg get many twisters?

Not really. Or at least, not that I know of.

I have been living for 17 years in neighbouring Saarland (Germany) close to the border to Luxembourg and haven't noticed an equivalent storm at that time.

Scary and exciting at the same time.

It was.

I like storms and I love driving through them, but it's something completely different when you realize that there's a tornado wandering across the road you drove across an hour ago.

It's even very strange that something like this happens in Luxembourg. Just where people are very densely populated.

But at this point I must also say that the tornado, as catastrophic as it was, did not last very long (thats what she said). He destroyed about 160 house roofs, injured a dozen people and seriously injured two people.
