Freak weather
I don’t know why, but the Birmingham area seems to have become the Freak Weather Capital of the UK. First, there was the Dudley earthquake in 2002, and now we’ve had the Moseley tornado. What’s next—-typhoons on the lake in the local park?

Hey, it's definitely putting Birmingham on the map. For those of us from London (though I don't live there anymore), Birmingham is like a foreign country, a large town that we know zero about, except for the accents, Spaghetti Junction, and Jasper Carrott. I'm not sure why it suffers this lack of having anything memorable about it, perhaps it's the lack of a major soap based there.. after all, Corrie is Manchester, Brookside was Liverpool, and Emmerdale is Yorkshire, right?

It's a competition. Tornado beats earthquake with ease. The Black Country is going to come back with Godzilla or something.

I hate to be picky, but strictly (and even not strictly) speaking an earthquake is not weather. Was there something else in the weather that made it seem to be an earthquake?
My favourite thing about this is the thought of people saying "tornado" with a Midlands accent.

Imagine if it had hit Debenhams, there would have been silver discs flying all over the Midlands leading to a huge outbreak of UFO reports.

Quite freaky the weather is. I'm in India currently, and the floods and rain are pretty strong. Largest flood in 100 years just happened.

Don't you know? It's not bad weather, it's all because of you-know-who and his Death Eaters!!
