Moseley Tornado Picture Page

In the afternoon of 28th July 2005 there was a tornado in the Kings Heath, Moseley and Balsall Heath areas of Birmingham. Fortunately for us, the damage was very localised and we have only had a few twigs off our trees. However, just down our road I took the first 2 pictures. All these pictures were taken within a mile of our house. One of the damaged houses shown in a later picture belongs to a colleague in the orchestra.

The next 3 pictures show another colleague, Charles, and his son Duncan.
Their house was narrowly missed by a mature beech tree.

This is the maximum inconvenience at our home!
