00:00 Some of the neighbours' houses are in absolute disaster.
00:03 The roof's missing, gable end's gone,
00:07 cars squished with all the stone that's come off the houses.
00:11 I got a phone call from my mum, she lives locally,
00:13 and she's been unfortunate with her roof,
00:16 part of her roof's come off and it's landed on their brand new,
00:18 very expensive car, which is a real shame.
00:21 Our friends who we were with also live on this estate,
00:23 and I think they've come off a bit worse than us, unfortunately.
00:27 So we've all got evacuated and we've not really been back since.
00:30 It was dark, so we could see big piles of debris
00:32 and people's bits of houses missing,
00:34 but we couldn't see our own, we were in the middle of a terrace,
00:36 so it was a bit harder to see.
00:39 But we were safe and that was the main thing.
00:41 We've got insurance, hopefully that will be covered.
00:43 And, you know, when things like this happen,
00:45 there's lots of people who are worse off than us,
00:47 so we can't really, you know, complain too much.
