A tornado struck Albany on Auckland's North Shore today. This is where Jane works and she was at work today. She saw the whole thing happen with the spiral rushing towards them. The tornado ripped parts of the roofs of buildings around her, tossed cars around including picking them up from 1 carpark and tossing them into other carparks. Trees were uprooted and traffic lights felled,
Grace was with Jane in the office. It was a terrifying ordeal for them. The worse part was wondering what was going to happen next, whether there would be more and which direction the tornado was going. Jane rang me and I searched the internet but there was no news about the tornado. Eventually we learned that the tornado headed towards Birkenhead where we live. Luckily it didn't come near our house.
Unfortunately one person died and a number were injured.
