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.

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.

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.

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.

 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    

Page 7: Dreams Do Come True .My Story . RimPro-Tec .

   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.

 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.

       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.

       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.

 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.
