Living as I do in my cozy little corner of northwest Europe, where things like volcanos or earthquakes, let alone tornadoes, just don’t happen, it’s hard to understand the sheer scale of destruction a tornado like the one that hit Moore, OK yesterday can leave behind. Seeing videos like the one above just leave me gobsmacked. Luckily it’s not all doom and gloom and finding your dog alive though your house is flattened must give this woman some sort of comfort:

A picture I took riding back from work a couple of days ago, showing the bare trees swarming with birds preparing for migration. There’s this little patch of wilderness near the sluices I have to bike over to get to the ferry to the station, which always has a lot of birds living in it, usually parrots, though I’m not sure what these are.
