10. That's the stuff nightmares are made of
:scared:

I can well understand why it is that, before tornadoes were understood, they seemed to people that it must be the wrath of God. The spontaneous random destruction they can wreak, how else could it be explained?

Strange thing I learned recently. Britain is apparently the most tornado-prone place on the planet, in terms of numbers of twisters per unit of land area. Very strange. I guess most of them must be pretty small though, because tornado damage is a very rarely heard about. There was one that went through Birmingham last year, which was remarkable enough to make the news.
