Tornado Alley (PROG)

[StephanieVanbryce]

STRONG rumor - 3.29pm: This post carries a heavy, heavy dose of caution. There are rumours that Hosni Mubarak has gone. Channel 4's Jonathan Rugman tweets:

Live blog: Twitter

US Ambassador met El Baradei today. Rumour Mubarak gone to Bahrain. Still not confirmed. #jan25 #c4news #feb01 [ http://twitter.com/#!/jrug/statuses/32458731983732736 ]

There are other people tweeting that people are celebrating in the streets amid news that Mubarak has gone. But rumours have gone round the protests on previous days that the Egyptian leader has stepped down so I must emphasise the level of caution that should be attached to such rumours.
