Yep, most definitely a slightly RARE occurance over here. The BBC video depicts the whole thing quite well, some really rather impressive images.

It made CNN so must have been pretty bad. Its the most impressive tornado I've seen in video for Poland with its violent rotation with debris flying through the air. I would say it was F3+. BTW, why is there little to no audio in these videos?
