Tom
I think that those people that were in the tornado were really scared because of the wind pushing there house and how all of the children were crying that there parents werent there at the time and they were probably somewhere taking care of some things and that happened
Sophie
This is frightening than before! We are harming our earth, and this causes global warming! We need to know that we will get more tornadoes than before!
SA
I was in Small Heath, I witnessed The Tornado, It was more than scary, it was so windy and dark, I was afraid of something happening to me, after the tornado, I saw a little shop in the corner with no roof, and the football ground was covered with junk and a few parts of trees, I coudn't believe it!!!!!!!!!!
psa lads
omg it was so scary we were on the streets doing grafiti and all of a sudden it went dark. we thought it was the day of judgement and legged it. we were surprised and quickly went round the places to see what would happen. i remember zamran one of the psa running to his house to and saying my family better be okay.

Jodan Richmond
I feel so sorry for those children that had to go through that.
steph
me and my family were on our way to cornwall a few days after the tornado and we had to drive through Birmingham and all we could see was the houses with no roofs and trees all over the ground.
Justine Abbott
Those people who was in the storm must had been really scary. I probably think it was hard for them to get away from the spinning twister. The thing is the people that suvived it was very brave where as the ones that died their love ones are not lucky. I have never been in a tornado before but i probably be scared it would be hard to get over that my house was destroyed. Tornados are interesting things but dangerous and scary.
celia russell
I feel really sorry for all those people who had their houses ruined or they were injured. I give them my deepest sympathy and though I wasn't involved I know what it's like because we had a huge thunderstorm and their was really nearly a Twister but loads of peoples houses were flooded and Some of the lihtning hit the folly tower which is right next to where I live and made the ground shake, and some of it hit peoples gardens and ruined everything. So I know how it feels to lose loads of things that you love.
John
I was walking along the road and nearly got hit by a branch. That was the first thing i noticed!!!!!
kwlcarl
i think that at this rate, with the weather, that we will have more of them, hence the Derby tornado.
molly
i was on holiday at the time with friends, when we heard about it we were all calling home because we all live right by the high street and we heard people had died. all or families were ok but my friends mum was outside greggs at the time and was almost hit in the face by a tile but luckily she was pushed out the way just in time. i also know someone who was working in gregs and they all thought a bomb had gone off!
paul sheridan
i was driving through derby today and it also hurt a pedestrian when some temporary fencing was blowen on them,and then it also caused damage to trees and road works on the A52

Jason Duff
I was at my nans house that day on ladypool road, my girlfriend and her little nephew luke was with me. my nans dog was going mad just before it hit so i let her out in the back garden and thats when i noticed the sky going black. The tree in the garden bent over with the wind so i called the dog in, all of a sudden luke shouted from the front door "its a TORNADO!" I went running out, looked to my left and just couldnt believe what i was seeing! we tried to shut the front door but couldnt because the wind was too strong! We finaly managed to shut the door and went into the living room, we watched it come across the road and hit ladypool school and the tower which had been standing over 1 hundred years just toppled right over like it was a tower of cards! After it passed it felt so eiree outside, there was no breeze and it went realy hot! It was such a scary time but i am glad i experienced it because it will go down in local history and i will never forget it!!
Jonathan Sumpton
Since Hurricane Katrina's severity WAS predicted by the US wetaher service because the Gulf of Mexico was unusually warm as Katrina moved accross it and we know the seas around the UK are warming up explaining the arrival of fish from further south and the departure of native fish to Northern waters, shouldn't we expect more "weather events" like this with increasing severity or are tornadoes not created in the same way as hurricanes?
fred benton
it was so scary i hope it dosen,t happen again
kat
each year england has many tornaodes like usa but wedont feel them

I was in my house with my daughter when the Tornado landed. I can honestly say it was the first time i prayed for my life! We all had to move into hotels for 3 months and we have all been traumatised beyond belief! I'm not looking forward to next summer believe me! All I can say is thank god no one was killed it was a real life miracle!

Laura-Rose
At the time i was in kings heath with my friend kerry, in mcdonalds. And we got our food and settled down to eat. the sky began to get darker and darker, and i kept telling kerry something wasn't right. but she sed it wud be just heavy rain. then it began to rain, and she said "see, its only rain." then we watched it start to get windy, and people began to scream as branches, glass, tiles, plastic and other stuff flew agaisnt the window and through the doors, and adults shouted at everyone to get back towards the counters. when it was over the streets were a tip and greggs and the church was recked!! very scary!! x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
lilly
NEVER say that tornados are samll: theres no such thing as a small tornado. n thats stupid wanting pictures, it could sweep you up and kill you. i have experienced a tornado in texas and almost got swept away, so i no what the people in birmingham must be feeling like.
harpz
i never expected a tornado
danielle
i never new that there was a tornando at birningham
perry
my car was sent into my neigbers front window. (not a nice expirence)
Imogen
I was standing in a bus stop opposite the Church in Kings Heath when the tornado hit. I remember seeing the tornado arrive at the Church as I could see all the debris swirling around in the wind. I then saw it hit the Church and some of the tiles come off before the tornado carried on.
Standing in the bus stop you could feel the wind and the canopy of the shop behind got blown up whilst someone tried to grab onto it and the glothes out side on the rails got blown over and some ended up in the road.
I then remember going up the road to see if a bus was going to come and coming back with the message that we were going to have to walk because a tree had blocked the road.
adam h
when i heard about the tornado i was amazed that Britain could be a tornadoes destination !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ally
From Cadbury Land i saw a huge cone but didn'n know what it was & i got hit by a big branch which i didn'n get a chance to see from the spped, i'd say the rain came down at about 105 mph!!!

i was at ladypool road when the tornado struck. ladypool road was one of the most devastated places after the tornado struck. i was in a shop, ready to leave the shop, when i saw the sky turn jet balck within a matter of seconds. i looked along the road and i saw a large swirl of twisting debri. the tornado came nearer and nearer to the shop and began ripping off the roofs of the shops. the lady at the shop said that one of the shops had just had their roof done days before the tornado. my car was left ruined and a tree had fallen metres away from my car.l it was a trrifying experience.
