I know our weather is usually a little tame when compared with you folks, but every now and then something unusual happens.

There are some good pictures of the damage.

It wasn't a tornado. It was Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

I was in the UK in 1987 when they had a hurricane force windstorm. It did a lot more damage than this all over the country. Massive trees fallen all over (6 of the oaks at Seven Oaks went down, Kew Gardens was hit hard). Getting anyway the day after was a nightmare because of all the fallen trees. I don't recall anyone blaming global warming back then.

Well look here!  It's caused by...guess what?  That's right.  GLOBAL WARMING!

From the link....

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23377242-details/Tornado+tears+through+London+street/article.do

Colin Brewer, who lives in nearby Trevelyan Gardens, told the BBC: "It was really, really incredible. All of a sudden I saw a swirl starting to form and then, it was amazing, but it then touched land.

"I then saw clumps of all sorts of things flying into the air."

Dawn Butler, the Labour MP for Brent South, said she believed the tornado was a sign that climate change was having an effect.

The left wing blogs are of course blaming this on global warming. It`s gotten to the point that any unusual weather event has to be caused by global warming. The weather must be absolutely normal (for a given time of year) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No variation whatsoever permitted.
