Tässä juttua Birminghamin trombista Lontoon kielellä:
Tornado in central Britain injures 12
July 29, 2005 - 6:24AM
A small tornado has hit Birmingham in central England, uprooting trees
and damaging hundreds of buildings.
Twelve people were injured when powerful winds struck southern
Birmingham, Britain's second biggest city, a spokeswoman for West
Midlands Fire Service said. None of the injuries was life threatening,
she said.
Sky News TV showed pictures of fallen trees and parked cars that had
been lifted up and dumped on sidewalks by the tornado, which struck at
about 2.30pm (2330 AEST).
Brian Cassidy, a 30-year-old carpenter, was sitting in a friend's car
when the tornado passed over.
"It hit a roof and just lifted it off," he said. "It was definitely a
twisting motion."
Police cordoned off a large section of the city's Ladypool Road to
protect people from unstable trees and properties.
Student Leyla Turkoglu, 18, was in a supermarket car park when the rare,
mini-twister struck.
"We got out of the car and the rain came so heavily," she said.
"People were running inside to get out of it. Then we saw roof tiles
flying around and then trees landing on the road."
here are up to tornadoes a year in Britain, but most occur in central
and eastern England during the summer.
In May, a tornado ripped off garage roofs, felled trees and sent chimney
stacks tumbling down in a village in north-western England.
