It doesn't tell me what time the horrible mini tornado struck but it happened just before 2.30pm in South Auckland.
The Fire Service was called shortly after 2.30pm on Tuesday to a storage facility on Puhinui Road in the suburb of Papatoetoe. The tornado said to have ripped of a section of a roof measuring 40 metres bye 20 meters.
Fire officer George Lewis said that the crews removed debris and shortly after that the man was freed. he was not injured or hurt but scared and cold.
Fire officers said the tornado appeared to be highly localised and have not had any other reports of damage.
Fire Fighters are still said to be still at the site and clearing up and securing any loose material.
It was very lucky that the man survived because it was a 50/50 chance he could of died!!
