MAN SEES SMALL TORNADO IN HAWAII

HAWAII– A man on the big island of Hawaii says he watched a small tornado rip through his backyard on Sunday afternoon. Puttzle Kamehameha was at home when the wind suddenly became very stormy. When he looked out his window, he saw swirling winds tear the roof off his woodshed. "It just picked the roof right off and took it right in the air and took it out here about a 150 feet and dropped it again," Puttzle said. "It landed right in the dooryard, right on the trunk of the car. It did a lot of damage to the car. Really we didn't have time to think of anything, it just come on right so quick." That was the only report of a tornado in the Hawaiian area, but many people witnessed the strong winds, stirred up by thunderstorms. They're still cleaning fallen trees, branches and scattered roofing shingles. There were no reports of anyone getting hurt.
