Extreme weather hit Gogarth Hall Farm in Pennal on Wednesday, uprooting trees and lifting sheep and lambs into the air. The Tornado and Storm Research Organization said it had investigated the site and believed the damage was caused by a T3 tornado. John Mason, a researcher, said the objects had rotated before falling to the ground. “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,” he said. He added that he believed it had a power of 93 mph-114 mph. Deilwen Breese, owner of Gogarth Hall Farm, said she was away from the farm when she received a phone call telling her to go home. Breese told the PA news agency she 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 oh my God, when I got home I could not believe it.” He said he was still in shock from the incident. “The disaster was heartbreaking,” he said. “I’m still in shock, really.” Breese added: “The trees had risen from their roots. If they had not gotten up, they would have just been tarnished. “We have lost hundreds of trees.” The winds were so strong that a ewe and her lambs rose in the air. Bryce said: “He took a ewe out of the bay of a shed and gathered the lambs.” He said the lambs were fine, but the ewe was “gone”. He said: “When I got to the farm I could see the damage to the roof, it was about 100,000. Damage to the roof.” A group of 12 local volunteers helped her clean up the disaster. However, Breese fears that the farm will not be the same. He said: “It will take months, it will never come back, not even in my life. He will never return to what he was. “
