Yes mate, the tornado went around 2 sides of the farm and took out a few outbuildings.All the lecky cables and phone cables and all that sort of stuff went down the swanny. She said it sounded like a train going through the place.

She was very scared but no injuries thank God.

Phew, just got back in - best days earnings I've ever had. I earnt enough to buy a new van I reckon, absolutely brilliant. Most of the houses I didn't even get my kit out - just put 'your windows were cleaned today' slips through all the doors. I put my rain guarantees in too (no one ever calls back) and I've caught up on three weeks work!
Best of all, I never used any pure water at all.  ;D
Off to the dole office now to pick up the rest of my hard earned cash.
