Bloomin ell!
The climate is getting well weird now.
Just waiting for a volcano to erupt in Epsom now.

UK has more tornadoes per square mile than the USA. The difference is the size and they last seconds! Unusual to get one in a city though...

Did it improve the place? Must've been a shift in the tropical climate

i think we had the same joke when we had the earthquake
and the last tornado
Also Mr Solitude...It does help to have a warm climate to get this twisters

Hope you didn't loose to many of your precious Palm tree's
unlike me
My beloved tree outside met the road today
Had yet another roadblock at either end of my driveway
quite amusing having the Police lift the courdon so i could get my car out of my drive

Tam - you can imagine! I drove from work through Brum to take a look at the damage but the traffic was bad. I ended up heading towards Walsall where i could see the storm in the distance. It still looked evil
Dem - Is that the same mobile phone video on the bbc website ? or is it ya mates ? send it me!

no, it wasn't the one on the bbc site, it wasn't as good as that, i haven't got it, this bloke on the next table was showing it to his mates and i asked him if i could see it. it was almost like snow or something, leaves and rubbish and all sorts or crap flying round, was just a bit further down the high street to that picture of the card shop
