It was a typical British summer afternoon - 28 July 2005. Then, without warning, a 130mph tornado ripped through homes, schools and businesses in the Balsall Heath , Small Heath and Sparkbrook areas of Birmingham - some of the poorest parts of the city. Roofs were peeled off like the tops of sardine cans, windows were blown in, cars were rolled from one end of a street to the other and trees were thrown around as if they were twigs. The Birmingham tornado was given minimal coverage in the national news, coming as it did after the 7 July London bombings, but it caused damage estimated at £40 million. With over half the residents affected without any insurance, what will become of the tornado survivors?
Rajesh Mirchandani follows the Birmingham communities in the year after the tornado ripped through them, hearing their stories as they rebuild homes, businesses and lives, outside the media Spotlight.
