The Main chap at Torro has just been interviewed on Radio Scotland
Newsdrive. He stated that it was a decent tornado and that it would have
caused a lot more damage had the houses been made from the same material
as they tend to be in the USA. He quashed the Mini Tornado usage and in
general laid to rest a few media tornado ghosts- you can listen again on
the bbc radio player.

Having emailed the show 45 minutes earlier about their reckless use of the
word "Mini" and "freak" and pushing them to the Torro site I am claiming
it as a coup. ;o)

I was listening to this on Radio 4 this evening whilst negotiating the M3.
Cue me talking to the car radio along the lines of "stupid journo! if a
hundred homes are damaged and trees uprooted it's hardly a bloody mini
tornado you moron!" I don't think the journo would actually have heard me
castigating him via the car radio, but it made me feel better ;-)
