Y Do They Always Refer To Twisters In This Country As Mini? The Birmingham Twister Was F2 Winds Were Aproaching 135mph At Times And At It Widest It Was Nearly A Kilometre Wide? Mini I Dont Think So Even An F0 Would Be Horrible To Be In Theres Nothing Mini Bout Tornadoes? :/

@law2811 Totally agree with you.

@fatfortuna i prefer the old scale not the enhanced

@NovaGypsy truth hurts, look at it when it snows whole of the UK grind to a halt. Im not the only person that thinks the same, loads of people called in the the radio saying the same thing

@law2811 That also makes you a pussy fag, in any scenario, in any country if a tornado this size was coming at people they'd be just as scared as the UK residents.
Such an ignorant kid.

@jenzzer90 Yeah it was
-
@Kaynas1988 I think you are right! Silly me
Still it was a freaky couple of years in the UK
-
@jenzzer90 I think you might have them mixed up-the Boscastle Floods happened 16th August 2004 and the Birmingham Tornado happened 28th July 2005, so it happened almost a year after the Boscastle floods that the Birmingham tornado hit
As the news reporter said "there are many tornadoes in the UK but none cause this much damage."
That is why it sounds so over dramatic.
If there is a flood that causes damage, they aren't going to compare it to the Tsunami and go "doesn't seem too bad compared to the Tsunami, we might as well not report on it."
