Tyneside Hurricane Appeal A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) and an earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter Scale hit Tyneside in the early hours of Monday with its epicentre in Newcastle Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "fukinelll". The hurricane decimated the area causing almost £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Benidorm and the Costa Del Sol were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Giros arrived. Metro Radio reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Tyneside. One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Jeremy Kyle the next morning." Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Brown Ale to the area to help the stricken locals.
