Balsall Heath's tornado devastation overlooked by mainstream media

29-07-2005 03:24

Birchwood Road, Balsall Heath, Birmingham
This afternoon July 28th 2005, without warning between 2:30 and 3:00 pm, a freak tornado raging at 136 miles an hour struck South Birmingham. The devastation pictured below resembles an earthquake or a series of bomb blasts. Within a couple of miles radius thousands of people have been made homeless and have been evacuated from their homes.

So many roofs and parts of roofs are missing. If there's any rain tomorrow or in the next few days and possibly weeks ceilings will collapse and people's possessions will be damaged. Urgent action needs to be taken to ensure repairs are carried out as quickly as possible. There is structural damage to hundreds of homes in the area.

Local resident Dave said, "This is a disaster zone! No amount of regeneration funding can help, it will be too late. Damage will escalate in the B12 area of Birmingham, unless immediate action is taken. Both economically, socially, spiritually this disaster may spoil all the community cohesion that exists already. Direct Government action is needed!'

We Got...............?

28-07-2005 22:04

It seems to me there are a lot of uses for armed police in our city, but shootings in our streets and kids carrying guns as fashion accessories do not warrant such police being readily available to stop these crimes, but a young fellow un-armed harming nobody and the whole cavalry come out to play !

S.O.S. from Venice,Italy

28-07-2005 20:25

Nothing can be more exasperating then the realization that nefarious financial interests are wrecking the environment with the false excuse of saving it.

This global tendency applies also to the lagoon city of Venice.
More and more Venetians suspect these days the four billion dollar project to ‘Save Venice’ from flooding is padding certain pockets while leaving their city to sink deeper into its lagoon.
