England destroyed by tornadoes
They have apparently struck Hampshire, the West Midlands, Bedfordshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire already this morning.
Where next, who is safe?

Ah, England. We hardly knew ye.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
Fine and dandy down in Sussex however
Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Wouldn't be 100 years after Armageddon that Nature would be back up and running like nothing had happened. Civilization might not fare so well, on the other hand.

We're the only ones who can off this rock. Afterwards, we can pretty much sterilize it. You just need enough delta-V on a big enough asteroid or comet and we might even get another moon.Comment

I don't entirely agree with this quote but it sums up the general sentiment pretty well, I think:Originally posted by Dauphin

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I was thinking along those lines, and that exact quote in fact.
