Noticeable this morning on national radio bulletins that it is being
reported as a 'tornado' and/or 'devastating tornado' - no mention of the
'M' word!

Despite the devastating tornado last night's 1030 slot with Helen Willets
had no explanation whatsoever of what caused the event and did not even show
any synoptic charts or other data from the Birmingham area. Radio 4's 0800
news this morning also had very little to say about it and Carol Kirkwood on
Breakfast was too busy giving out the Fahrenheit conversions.

Now if the event had been in London....
