My house was hit by the tornado and it truly was terrifying! I will never forget the sound of it as long as I live

The tornado is like a curse that happens every where but this one hit about 5 minutes away from my house.

Elis Lewis,
The only damage my house had was some of the tiles came off the roof and my trampolin moved by the tornado. One of my friends had massive damage on their house.Their trampoline ,their little house and their footy goal, and so did the tornado blew their tiles off their house as well. Lucky my house didn't have a lot of damage than my friends.

I live in Bow Street and the only damage I got was a dodgy wall falling down....... and I slept through it all the only time I realised it was when I was on my way to school.

Two out of the four photos are of my property. 1 - the roof ripped off and 2 - the caravan. It is now Jan 18th and I still do not have a roof!!!! I have received a good offer from my insurance covering loss of caravan. My wife's car has been repaired and I have replaced my fence. Still no roof!!!

Very scary. Some of my mates live in Bow Street and I thought they were all dead.
