Homes and businesses have been overwhelmed by one of the most devastating tornados seen in the UK.

On Thursday afternoon, people ran in terror as vicious winds overturned cars, tore up trees and ripped slates or entire roofs off properties in the Kings Heath area of Birmingham.

Climate change is a disloyal lie. Please ignore the environmentalists. Continue with your lifestyle. Move along. Move along.

The very first (edit: er... second. I thought the bolded part was a subtitle) line in the story:

Yet just over 70 years ago a similar whirlwind struck the same spot.

The End Is Near! Repent, Sinners!

Global warming yet again. I'm surprised we've not hit 40c this year.

I remember hearing a couple of years ago that England has the highest tornado rate per square mile in the world. The tornados just aren't particularly powerful.

This month has got to have been the wirdest month I have ever lived in. And it is not even over yet.

Tornadoes are pretty common in northern europe, but not as much or powerfull as in Tornado Alley in US., so yes, please move along, nothing special has happened except that this one hit something.
