Tornado !!
OMG, it was so scary. I was on a live meeting, heard the thunder and the lashing of the rain then there was this awful sound. looked out the window and leaves and branches were flying pass. Screamed "tornado" and dived under my desk. The people on the meeting were very shocked, their faces when I reappeared from under the desk. - lol
We were very lucky, it ran through our dog run so on the smaller side of land of the house. Next road over was not so lucky. friends house had some of his roof off and doors ripped off hinges, another in the same road had trees up, conservatory damaged, glass everywhere and 1 tree just missed their car. Next road up had a Norfolk Pine tree go through their roof just missing a car, this is a work place and one employee was upstairs and thought the sky looked funny and went downside telling the others he thought there was going to be a hail storm. before the Norfolk pine crashed through the roof.
So will not care if I never have to go through that again

Seems to be a few weeks of rotten weather at the moment.

Re: Tornado !!
Not such good news for the Kapiti and swells today. Hope you and your area are ok.
Himself is on call and of course West Coast SI is copping it again.
