Did anybody else hear about the tornado that tore through Birmingham in the afternoon yesterday, I was watching it on the news last night. A lot of buildings are going to have to be demolished, and people will have to find new homes. The insurance won't cover it either, because it was an "act of God", so the people are basically screwed if they don't have much money, which a lot of them don't.

I know it wasn't that bad, but it is very strange for a tornado to occur in England...

You can find some information here: BBC News.

Here are some pictures: Direct slideshow.





















Luckily, nobody was killed only around 20 - 30 injured.

It's good news about the IRA aswell, at least they're going back to their old ways, they've changed too much, they only ever used to be about freedom, never about terrorism, my Grandad hated them when they started bombing. (Long story).

Yeah i heard it this morning, its rather erm destructive for a UK tornado lol

Looting has been a problem too, what kinda of stupid people would loot a house after a event like that?! How low can you get

There are some really sad people in the world though that would do stuff like that, like chavs.

The word chavs instantly popped into my head, seriously they are getting to be a real problem...however not all chavs are bad, its only the minority of morons who have a very limited amount of thought\morals\ethics.
Shame about the Tornado though, the worst the north's got is a lot of wind and rain, but the weather surely has been funky in the UK this year.

trax, youve got to remember, this was 15 minutes down the road from us

and we felt none of it...

scary stuff...

sucks how people are getting robbed...

Weird, I NEVER hear of tornados on the east side of the world.....

Edit: btw, you spelled tornado wrong.

traxor, tornado*
