    A tornado in New Plymouth has caused widespread damage, including broken glass, and a broken bone

    A tornado in New Plymouth has caused widespread damage, including broken glass, and a broken bone


    John Bamford says he and his wife were shocked when a tornado ripped through their Bell Block property this morning, but his wife suffered the most when the tornado threw her against their house and broke her collarbone.

    Bamford says a deck chair was flung a hundred metres into a paddock, and broken glass is sticking out of the ground - like stalagmites - around his house.
