Storm cell takes down Tatura home

By Deanne Jeffers

THE storm cell that hit the region on Thursday, March 23 caused flash flooding, building damage, as well as cutting power to more than 9,000 customers in Shepparton and Mooroopna areas.

Kerrie Hickey, who lives in Tatura, has shared these photos of her home, which was destroyed when the storm ripped through the area.

She said, “My home has been absolutely demolished. I was home with my dog when the storm came. It felt like a tornado or a cyclone, it was so loud.”

“My dog and I went to the shed and I was covering both of our ears because it was so loud, absolutely screaming towards us. I’m so glad we weren’t in the house, because when it passed there was nothing left. It totally demolished the house, but the shed was completely fine,” Kerrie said.
