THE FIERCE winds last week ripped the roof off a family home in Darfield.
Shelly McCluskey, from Bly Road, said she thinks the large field, at the back of her home where she lives with son Nick, may be why the wind was strong enough to rip the metal roofing panels off.
Shelley said one of her neighbours had seen the panels as they were coming off of the roof, and described them as 'flapping like a piece of paper' before coming to a stop on the road.
Shelley has lived at the house for 26 years, and said this is the first time she has had any major problems with the weather.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
