Got a chill running down your spine? Residents of Bavaria are quivering after a string of houses got their roofs rattled off, sparking whispers about a gnarly, possibly-twister-related, weather snafu. The DWD’s notReadyToTalk yet, but tornado suspicion is in the air.
Sonnefeld - Just after dusk, tiles started flipping houses upside down in Upper Franconia. Could it have been a twister?

Roofs flailing in Bavaria: Was there a tornado, twister, or some sorta wicked stormie in Bavaria last night?
A furious, windy gal-pal whipped the tiles off the roofs of ten buildings. A local authority spiller-bean shared the news that nearly half the roofs of nine equine abodes in Sonnefeld, in the district of Coburg, were stripped bare. A resident dwelling missed the storm party as well, at least on the roofie-front, on May 28, 2025.
Peep eyes estimated the damage in the Bieberbach properties at approximately €50,000. Tarpaulins did the roofie-clearer act overnight, securing things until the blue savings boxes could be wheeled out for repairs. Thankfully, no one got their peepers plucked by any errant roof tiles.
Shifty storm: Clues pointing towards tornado-ish vibes, but no official confirmation
Alas, the weather merrymakers didn't choke it up to a tornado just yet. A cappella storm expert explained that, although thetenant-of-suspicion in town was a tornado, the existing data ain't justifying yet to wallop that label onto the situation. Since it was a one-horse-town event, it wasn't captured by any mothership weather station they said. (kam/dpa)
