Woman worried for safety after her home was damaged by tornado

A first home owner from Levin says she feels unsafe in her house, after it was severely damaged by Friday's tornado.

Wild weather tore through the Horowhenua district on Friday morning, damaging buildings, and downing trees and powerlines.

Rhianna Sweetman and her partner, who are waiting for an official building assessment following the storm, are worried they will be told their first home is uninhabitable.
