Tornados
and
Dreams
My
Story

2. Tornados
I
woke
up
one
morning
petri/ied,
after
having
a
dream
about
two
tornados
hitting
my
house,
I
woke
my
husband
up
telling
him
about
my
dream
he
told
me
to
go
back
to
sleep
and
that
I
had
been
too
busy
at
work
and
not
to
worry
about
it,
this
I
did
until
the
5th
of
July,
just
a
few
short
weeks
later.
Well
the
5th
of
July
was
the
day
everything
changed
my
family
and
I,
what
I
thought
was
the
worst
day
of
my
life
turned
out
to
be
the
best
day
of
my
life,
all
thanks
to
the
dream.

3. My
daughters
and
I
feared
for
our
lives
when
two
tornados
slammed
into
our
house
in
Oakura
a
small
seaside
township
in
Taranaki
on
the
west
coast
of
New
Zealand.
We
were
absolutely
petrified,
we
honestly
thought
we
were
all
going
to
die.
We
ran
to
the
back
of
the
house,
this
is
the
part
of
the
house
that
was
undamaged
in
my
dream
and
I
lay
my
body
over
my
girls
to
try
and
protect
them,
we
all
prayed
that
we
would
be
safe,
I
prayed
more
3mes
than
you
could
imagine
in
the
few
minuets
we
were
on
the
floor.
I
can
remember
the
deafening
noise
and
the
feeling
was
that
of
pure
fear,
something
to
this
day
I
can’t
explain.
I
have
heard
people
say
that
being
in
a
Tornados
is
like
standing
at
the
back
of
a
jet
engine
on
a
plane
or
a
train
at
the
side
of
you
moving
at
270
miles
an
hour,
but
all
I
can
say
is
my
daughters
and
I
were
petrified,
they
screamed
like
nothing
I
have
ever
heard
before
they
held
and
clung
on
to
me
and
me
to
them
for
dear
life
fearing
that
if
I
let
go
of
them
I
would
never
see
them
again.

4.
The
terrifying
noise
passed
and
we
laid
there
for
what
seemed
like
an
eternity.
I
can
remember
hearing
voices
shouting
and
screaming
outside
so
we
got
up
off
the
/loor
and
nothing
could
have
prepared
us
for
what
we
were
about
to
see.

5.
It
was
absolute
carnage
the
children’s
beds
were
a
real
shock
to
see
with
large
two
feet
long
shards
of
plated
glass,
spearing
the
mattresses
and
the
children’s
pillows.
What
was
even
more
terrifying
is
that
if
the
tornado
happened
just
an
hour
after
the
children
would
have
been
in
the
very
same
beds.

6.
Chris,
my
husband
was
working
4
hours
away
when
the
tornados
hit
the
house,
aQer
seeing
the
news
report
on
TV
saying
“a
small
seaside
township
in
Taranaki
has
been
hit
by
a
swarm
of
tornados”,
he
immediately
thought
about
the
dream
I
had
told
him
about
a
few
weeks
before.
Chris
tried
in
vein
to
get
hold
of
us
but
all
the
telephone
lines
were
downed
by
the
tornados,
so
he
called
a
family
friend
that
lived
about
10
miles
away
to
get
to
us
as
soon
as
he
could.
Chris
was
on
the
cell
phone
to
our
friend
as
he
pulled
into
Oakura
and
the
police
said
he
could
not
go
down
to
where
we
lived
as
it
was
too
dangerous,
he
passed
the
phone
to
the
police
and
Chris
begged
to
let
him
down
to
see
if
we
were
hurt
or
even
worse,
He
did
get
through
the
road
block
and
was
talking
to
Chris
as
he
approached
our
house
and
he
did
not
know
how
to
tell
him
but
the
house
was
seriously
damaged
and
he
could
not
see
the
girls
and
me,
Chris
was
absolutely
distraught,
he
thought
he
had
lost
us
all,
but
our
friend
spoWed
me
in
a
neighbors
house
just
up
the
street,
he
was
so
pleased
to
be
able
to
tell
Chris
that
we
were
safe
and
physically
unhurt

7.
We
lost
all
of
our
material
possessions
that
night
the
house
was
ruined
the
furniture
was
destroyed
and
it
just
showed
us
that
you
never
expect
to
loose
everything
in
a
click
of
a
finger
but
you
can.
But
we
didn’t
care
about
any
of
that
I
s3ll
had
my
family
and
that
is
all
that
maWered.
Then
came
the
hammer
blow
I
realized
that
we
were
actually
homeless.
As
the
day
dawned
so
did
the
full
extent
of
the
devasta3on
and
the
brute
force
of
the
tornados
become
painfully
clear,
as
many
as
sixty
homes
were
badly
damaged
when
the
tornados
hit,
as
the
clean
up
got
underway
it
was
thought
at
least
six
houses
were
beyond
repair.
The
tornados
came
from
the
sea
and
destroyed
everything
in
their
path
as
they
spiraled
inland.
The
girls
s3ll
get
very
worried
when
the
wind
gusts
but
I
am
sure
it
will
get
beWer
as
3me
goes
by.

8. From
one
Dream
to
another
Our
Dream
is
called
Wheel
Protec3on
with
change
out
colours

9.
We
moved
to
Auckland
soon
after
the
Tornados
we
could
not
settle
and
felt
that
we
wanted
to
be
away
from
where
the
tornados
struck
in
fear
it
would
happen
again
and
started
working
around
the
clock
17
hours
a
day
7
days
a
week,
we
had
too.
We
had
a
/looring
business
that
was
going
really
well
and
we
worked
that
during
the
day
and
we
would
come
home
and
work
on
RimPro-­‐Tec,
so
we
could
move
the
invention
to
the
next
level.

10.
Two
Dreams
one
that
saved
our
life
and
one
that
changed
our
life.
We
always
knew
that
we
were
so
blessed
having
the
two
dreams,
one
that
saved
our
lives
and
one
that
was
changing
our
lives
and
we
also
knew
that
this
time
we
could
actually
be
in
a
position
to
change
other
peoples
lives
and
to
help
people
that
are
less
fortunate
than
ourselves,
to
this
end
we
set
up
our
foundation
to
help
families
in
need
and
kids
on
the
street.

11.
Some
days
were
really
rough
having
never
brought
a
product
to
the
market
before
and
mo3va3on
was
a
big
thing
keeping
going
was
the
only
op3on.
I
can
remember
one
day
pulling
the
car
up
to
the
side
of
the
road
crying,
thinking
I
really
can't
take
or
push
my
self
anymore
I
just
can
not
go
any
further,
I
sat
in
the
car
for
a
while
and
decided
to
put
the
radio
on
I
really
don’t
know
why
I
did
it
but
I
was
so
pleased
I
did,
on
this
one
occasion,
at
that
3me
was
a
song
playing
called
“You
are
half
way
there
living
on
a
prayer”
by
Bon-­‐Jovi.
Well
that
song
worked
for
me
and
I
had
to
keep
going,
I
was
now
mo3vated
again
but
this
3me
on
a
whole
different
level.
I
just
knew
that
not
only
did
I
have
to
do
this
for
my
family,
but
I
had
to
do
it
for
other
children
that
need
my
help
to.

12.
Months
turned
into
years
but
we
never
gave
up
on
that
dream
we
were
going
to
make
a
difference,
several
prototypes,
different
materials
and
lots
and
lots
of
testing.
We
eventually
found
the
perfect
design
and
the
best
material
to
use
and
there
it
was
the
dream
had
become
a
reality
and
is
a
fantastic
world-­‐class
product
and
one
that
I
am
very
proud
of
and
very
excited
about.

14. The
RimPro-­‐Tec
system
is
made
up
of
a
base
and
inner,
if
a
curb
is
hit
the
inner
will
rotate
within
the
outer
base
to
take
some
stress
away
from
the
tape.
RimPro-­‐Tec
is
a
specially
developed
extrusion
that
is
easily
applied
to
the
wheel
with
the
use
of
a
proven
very
high
bond
tape.
The
system
is
available
in
silver
base
with
a
silver
inner
and
also
in
black
base
with
a
black
inner,
this
way
you
are
able
to
be
discreet
and
in
many
cases
you
can
not
see
the
product
on
the
wheels
BUT
if
you
do
want
some
color
then
we
supply
15
different
colored
inners
that
will
allow
you
to
have
a
pinstripe
around
your
wheels.
Red,
green,
blue,
yellow
the
choice
is
yours
and
they
look
fantastic.

15. The
product
has
been
designed
to
be
able
to
fit
most
wheel
styles
and
has
a
universal
fitment
of
14”
to
22”
and
if
your
wheels
are
bigger
or
want
a
non
standard
color
we
have
the
ability
to
make
special
order
sizes
and
colors.
RimPro-­‐Tec
is
now
being
sold
in
several
countries
around
the
world,
but
we
are
always
on
the
look
out
for
new
opportuni3es
and

for
our
products.
