This tree .........
fell into this house!!!!

Carol's tree in my garden, this is the smaller part of it.

Lorraine had been swimming just a few hours earlier!

Well guys, just thought I will let you know, especially for the family in America, we are now getting your weather in the good old RSA. We had a tornado go through Amanzimtoti on Saturday, a very small one, but guess who's house was in the path of destruction. Ours! But then I will follow on Samantha's theme, and say this, I am awfully thankful that we have had no 'home' damage, not like our neighbours, I know now that our house is built solid. The roof is still doing what it should be doing, sheltering us. My room was soaked because my sliding door was open, for the American family, in South Africa, we open all the doors and windows that we can - no central heating here! Could not believe it. The neighbours tree fell into our garden at the bottom, and our tree fell into our other neighbors house on top. And that is how it went - a domino effect. I guess the damage that affects me most, is the gazebo ended up in the pool - so now I don't have shelter from the sun. Just waiting for our insurance to sort it out, so that I can replace it. It did not have a wide path of destruction but the path could be followed and the damage was severe. They say about 10 people died in KwaMakutha (the black neighbourhood) and sad to say, their homes are poorly built so the destruction there is bad. But as my Mom-in-law says, it was a first for her and she is 75 years old. So guys what is happening to our weather.
