TORNADO HITS BIRMINGHAM
At least 18 people were injured, one seriously, when a mini-tornado ripped through parts of Birmingham.
West Midlands Fire Service declared a "major incident" after deploying 15 appliances to a one-sq km area of south Birmingham where hundreds of buildings were damaged and trees uprooted.
Witnesses said a section of the city's so-called "Balti Belt" - which centres on Ladypool Road, Sparkbrook - was left resembling a war zone - with fruit, glass, masonry, tyres and furniture littering the streets.
A fire service spokeswoman said: "Three men, three women, three boys and three girls have been treated by fire service personnel and ambulance crews for various injuries and have been taken to hospital."
Police confirmed that an emergency medical centre had been set up in the Moseley area and that the High Street in neighbouring Kings Heath had been closed.
