Tornado destroys farm shed near Didsbury, Alberta
Photos and story courtesy of Dave Strang
Here's some pix from our local tornado on this past Tuesday afternoon. It first touched down 10 miles west of town and about 10 miles south (Didsbury highway) and proceeded in a northeasterly direction for another 4+ miles before dissipating 8 miles s/w of Olds. There was a lot of torn aluminum sheeting from farm buildings, shattered lumber and tree branches scattered throughout the affected area. Metal highway signposts were also bent over flat and power lines blown down. Luckily, no one was killed or injured.

Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations fly-past
Photos released by the British Ministry of Defense
Commentary by Helge Nome
The photos below give a birds eye view of the crowds celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee in front of Buckingham Palace. The photos also vividly demonstrate just how vulnerable a civilian population is to extermination from above.
In response to German attacks on the civilian population of London by VI and V2 cruise missiles towards the end of the war, Lancaster bombers were used to exterminate countless thousands of civilians in German cities in 1945.
It goes to show that there is no mercy in war. And the civilian population bears the brunt of the savagery.
