You answered the important qusestion Ian, and I'm glad no one was hurt, but some properties clearly had the shit kicked out of them.
Isn't tornado season earlier in the year, so hopefully this is a one off event, not that it minimises the distress and emotional and financial cost to those effected.
Its good that you photographed and posted the outcomes, we should never take the power of nature for granted. Cheers Ian, take care of the family

Thx buddy .. we're actually in the bad half up here.. it's our cold fronts that meet the hot ones pushed by the hurricanes in the south east that cause these more often than not..
