house,” he said.
Tohirin’s wife, two children and mother-in law were in the kitchen at the time when the tornado known
locally as “Ulur-ulur” passed over their home, destroying the guest and bedrooms.
“It was as if the wind had lifted my home up,” Thoirin said.
The disaster also destroyed the walls of four neighboring houses.
