We met the lovely Spicers (Shaun and Vicki) recently and they gave us a little tour of their place including where the tornado hit. I finally found a reference and article online -
click here to have a read and to see the quotes from Shaun.
They told us a harrowing story of glass flying across the room and embedding in the steel walls, and of their puppy (Kelly) running away and they thought they had lost her. It ripped the wall out of the shed and pretty much left them at the mercy of the weather.
Shaun then looked up the hill to our place and half expected it to be a pile of sticks and rubble. However, the tornado didn’t go near our place, and it was (obviously) unscathed.
Here are some shots of the damage to their shed. The good news is that they are all insured and we expect to go up and see a new shed very soon.
It was nice to meet our neighbors, particularly when they are also being very friendly about getting the power to come through their block up to our place.
