The term 'mini-tornado' is used so often that I think Joe Public now thinks
that real tornadoes don't/can't happen in this country, so anything
resembling a tornado must be a 'mini-tornado'.

Better education is needed. Although if educayshoon keeps decline at the
current rate, nobody will even now what a tornado is in 20 years.


It doesn't help when you get this:
==
Thursday 28 July WEATHER WARNING Torrential thunderstorms moving
across Northern England including Lincolnshire could pose a danger to
life. The very heavy rain is accompanied by extremely gusty winds which
have already caused structural damage in The Midlands. Valid until 0000.
