When Tornados Attack

I knew the weather was pretty bad, as earlier in the afternoon we'd popped outside our office to witness some torrential rain, little did I know what was happening in the area where I lived. Knowing that the slightest adverse weather tends to cause chaos on our roads I was a little apprehensive about driving home (on the only bloody day I used my car, as I needed to pick something heavy up from work)
After getting halfway home, traffic came to a standstill so I abandoned my car and walked the rest of the way on foot. Impromptu Police cordons blocked multiple roads and, because of recent events, I start to think that it was a Terrorist related incident. As I got nearer to Moseley (and home) damage to houses, cars, trees, slowly got worse and I've never seen so many police cars, ambulances, fire engines, and tree surgeons!
I got back home and thankfully the estate I live on suffered only a few fallen branches.

So, roving reporter MrNoxious grabs his trusty steed and heads back out to catalogue the devastation:

These first five pictures are just a couple of roads away away from where I live.

I believe that's the bathroom you can see there

Every single house on this road had damage of one form or another, the road was littered with roof tiles, branches, glass, and erm assorted debris.









This was the first fallen tree I saw on my walk home, strangely the houses in the rest of the road were untouched, but you can see where the Tornado had ripped through.


A typical scene on every road I went down, firemen cutting
away the fallen trees.
