Your reporters, on TV and on Radio 4, used the term "mini-tornado". There
was nothing "mini" about this perhaps Torro 4 tornado. Ask the injured, the
people without roofs, those with structural damage. A tornado is a tornado,
wherever it happens.
For years we've had to put up with this "mini-tornado" claptrap from the
BBC. Tornados happen worldwide. Perhaps if it had been central London you
would have used the correct term. A T4 would easily topple the London Eye,
would you have called that a "mini-tornado"?

"...The people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and
exposing the country to greater danger "

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little
temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
