Be careful what you wish for

First we had the big fire at Whitireia Park, the next weekend we had a tsunami caused by the Chilean quake (we actually got a 40cm peak to trough surge in Porirua Harbour), and the following Friday I rather jokingly mused that since we'd had fire, and earth & water, tornadoes would probably be on the schedule for that weekend, because if we were going by the elemental theme, wind was next.

I was only a week off on the tornadoes...

It wasn't a request! I was joking! Geez...
