Hi All!

Did anyone hear about the tornado that came to Brimingham yesterday. I do hope everyone who lives in Brimingham is OK!

Thinking of everyone who lives there.

Yes all you Birmingham Geeks hope none of you were involved in the Tornado.
Please let us know.

I was in central Birmingham yesterday and it was really calm, so the tornado must have been very an isolated incident.
Hey we had a few claps of thunder in Wolves though

Apparently the houses that were affected are now being looted according to the radio.....some people just don't miss an opportunity...

Gloria...maybe you were in the eye of the storm so never got the full effect??

I heard about that on the news earlier...I hope everyone is okay...All you Englanders are in my prayers....

one of the areas affected was Kings Heath, my Nan used to live there, I was surprised to see so much destruction when we saw the pics on the news.
the fireman they interviewed said it was unbelievable that there were only a few casualties and nobody was seriously injured.
there was a car that was parked on the hardstanding at one house and it ended up on its side up against the front room window of next door !!!

Hi,

I live in Moseley and was in Kings Heath on the way to the hairdresser's when it happened. I had a chimney pot fly past my head !

It only lasted about 3 min max, but it was the most fantastic experience for me.
Now this might sound a bit weird, but it was so fascinating to watch.

We had two windows knocked out and quite a few trees & branches fell into our property. The tornado followed a very specific path, therefore, some houses were really badly damaged and others were perfectly fine.
