A tornado swept through Orrville, Ohio, Wednesday and tore the roof off the home of a family that had just left for volleyball practice not an hour before the freak storm hit.
"It just came out of no where. I mean the clouds were rotating clearly and I was like well I've seen this happen before," Adam Shilling, a neighbor who had been in Oklahoma when the
deadly twister struck in May, told 19actionnews.com.
The house, which belongs to Jennifer Wyndham, sustained an estimated $80,000 worth of damage,
Chief Les Durstine of the Apple Creek East Union Township Fire Department told the Canton Repository. No one was injured and the family's pets — a dog and two cats — were also unharmed.

"This is spooky being that close to where we are," neighbor Julie Muller said. "I guess we can count our blessings."
Witnesses reported hearing tornado sirens and seeing a funnel cloud around 3:40 p.m. Wednesday. The rapidly moving storm system upended some trees and caused some power outages, but an hour later the winds had died down and the sun was out.
