Does Stick in my mind!

We were in an old farm house on top of an exposed hill, roof ripped off, chimney down, out buildings levelled.

It was actually really scarey, I was woken by chimney almost coming through my ceiling. Remember sitting in the kitchen and the house being ripped apart around us. Tiles were coming off the roof all the time and firing into the ground. We wanted to get out as thought the roof and chimneys were gonna kill us but you'd have been killed by flying debris.

My parents have Got photos of next day, tiles stuck in the garden like ninja stars. We had a plastic fish pond in the front garden and the stuff hitting hit managed to lift one edge and the wind pulled it out the ground.

Both my dads garages lay in rubble. These were big old converted barns with all his work stuff in. Hay barn roof gone, trees down.

Was scarey stuff.

I remember going into town and realising how easy built up areas got off.
