Freak weather or Global warming? Just really bad luck or a start of a pattern to come?- You choose!

One things for sure though- This could be an excuse for insurance companies to put up the premium rates even further in an already expensive insurance area- dispite Sparkbrook being one of Birmingham's poorest wards.

Another tornado within 3 months of the other one was something we thought would never happen (and so close too- Dovey Road is only 1 mile or so from the July 05 Balsall Heath tornado epicentre)
