Brummie tornado.......

[dilbert]

What's going on?

Birmingham just had a T3-4 tornado. Rooves, trees and cars airborne.

Is the end really nigh?

[mybrainhurts]

Yes.. take cover

I've just driven through the aftermath of it...

Fecking hell... that's some really really big trees been taken down, and a lot of buildings damaged.. (a lot of which was around the road I used to live on)...

Things are chaos there at the mo...

Almost glad I moved to Worcester now!

I'm waiting for the "caused quarter of a million pounds worth of improvements" jokes. Where are they?

Wow, good shots there, especially the far away ones.

On the way out of Brum this evening I was gutted that we didn't have a camera with me, the sunlight was beaming down on a trio of tower cranes that were against a dark black background of cloud, it looked stunning...

Ah well. Brum wasn't known for the quality of its architecture.

Is the punchline "It did 30 grands worth of improvements"?

[munky]
