The tornado uprooted dozens of trees and tore off part of the roof at Gogarth Hall Farm in Pennal, near Machynlleth in North Wales on Wednesday. Experts at the Tornado and Storm Research Organization (TORRO) investigated the site and believe the damage was caused by a T3 tornado. It reached speeds between 93 mph and 114 mph, said researcher John Mason. The T3 is classified as a powerful tornado, with the strongest, the T10, being categorized as a super tornado with wind speeds of up to 299 mph and the power to pull entire houses off their foundations, according to the International Tornado Intensity Scale. “The tornado was confirmed as there was a lot of evidence that objects were airborne and were spinning around in traffic before falling to the ground,” Mr Mason said. The strong gusts carried a sheep from a shed and gathered its lambs. The lambs survived, but unfortunately the ewe “left”, said farm owner Deilwen Breese. Mrs. Breese was away from home when the tornado struck and did not realize the extent of the damage until she returned. “I thought it was just that part of the roof was gone,” he said. “But my God, when I got home I could not believe it. The disaster was heartbreaking,” he said. “I’m still in shock, really. The trees had risen from their roots. If they had not picked them up, they would have just been tarnished. “We have lost hundreds of trees.” Ms Breese believes the tornado has caused around .000 100,000 in damage to the farm’s roof. A group of kind-hearted local volunteers has now been recruited to help with the clean-up. But Ms Breese fears the farm will never be the same.
