28th June - and the sky went black and then the heavens opened! It was amazing (videos to follow but they take an hour to upload!). It hailed and rained and the kitchen took in a fair amount of water - which helps with drain placement!!. I have never seen weather like it (I do love the way I have my Grandfather's ability to exaggerate!) but really it WAS incredible. When I eventually got home Ewerby Main Street was strewn with tree branches and debris which seemed strange as the wind had not been that bad at the barns.......it was only later when three people rang to see if we were alright that we realised Ewerby had been hit by a TORNADO!! Look at the home video on you tube for the 28th June!! Crazy! My zumba friend Kim had the worst of it as the base of the tornado hit her newly build summer house (2 years in the planning) and took the roof off to the other end of the garden only leaving the 5 x 4 metre base in tact. Her garden was annihalated - glass from the greenhouse all over the lawn and chicken huts in the field adjoining their property. I have never seen anything like it - and that is not an exaggeration! We were lucky that only the border plants suffered - flat to the ground and unlikely to recover.
