Mini tornado wreaks havoc on isle

According to the BBC a tornado wreaked havoc on a Scottish Isle.



Havoc, as defined by Oxford Dictionary: Devastate, lay waste, bring into confusion or chaos.

I admit there appeared an episode of confusion: the use of the word havoc by the BBC. When you visit the news article you are greeted by a small video of an overturned car and a camper van with cosmetic damage whose occupants were interviewed:

"The van started to shake, almost like you were in an earthquake and then it tipped sideways. Fortunately we were parked right next to a tractor. It tipped into the tractor and then tipped back again." Mr Cassie added: "We were very lucky. We were physically shaken but our kids were all right."

Madness! Havoc!
