Shows how important it is to secure your outdoor structures. Councils should offer more info on storm-proofing

Yeah nah that’s standard Nelson spring weather. Seen worse in the 90s when half the roof went

Rowan Blake2026-07-24T00:34:39.000Z

That’s terrifying honestly. Imagine just sitting there having lunch and the sky starts throwing iron at you

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T00:42:39.000Z

ffs another one? We had one in 2023 near Richmod and it was a mess. Guess we just live in tornado alley now

Quinn Murphy2026-07-24T01:36:39.000Z

Exactly! I saw a trampoline fly across the street last year – it’s getting crazy

oh no not the cycleways! how will we survive without more bike lanes while roofs fly off?

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T01:41:39.000Z

get stuffed. you clearly don't live near a council flat complex.

Grace Patel2026-07-24T01:05:39.000Z

lol typical NZ ‘safety’ – we wait for disasters then act shocked. Insurance premiums gonna go up again

Zoe King2026-07-24T01:24:39.000Z

Rubbish reporting. Nowhere does it say if anyone was actually hurt. Clickbait much?

Sophie Ngata2026-07-24T01:39:39.000Z

said family shaken not hurt. calm down

Tom Harris2026-07-24T02:20:39.000Z
