at the bottom there is a feedback section entitled

"Have you been affected by the Mini-tornado? Send us your experiences
using the form below."

Perhaps an opportunity to feedback how you are affected by the *use* of
the term "mini-tornado"?

Firstly for the BBC there is no such thing as a mini-tornado, wonder if the
people who saw it and were injured are calling it MINI.

Secondly to the BBC they report the storm was SUDDEN, god sake a TORNADO is
not a sudden thing they spawn if the conditions are correct such as today.

It is about time this countries Weather people start issuing watches and
warnings of potential Tornadic situations.
