A mother and her four children had a terrifying experience when their home's ceiling collapsed on a stormy night. The incident happened in Tapping on Thursday, during a particularly wild weather. The single mother, Dawn Paterson, recalled the night as being very heavy and windy. It was a scene of chaos and destruction, with their home now buried under rubble, making it impossible for them to continue living there.
Paterson was in shock and disbelief when she saw the extent of the damage. She compared it to an earthquake and felt lost on what to do at 4 am. Who do you call in such a situation? The young mother couldn't wrap her head around the fact that her ceiling gave way, especially since a structural report showed no issues when she purchased the house three years ago. There were no warning signs or indications that something like this would happen.
Currently, Paterson is waiting to hear from her insurance company to see if the damage is covered. In the meantime, she is trying to find another place for her family to stay. With a massive cleanup task ahead, she is just thankful that no one was hurt in the incident. The ceiling collapsed over the dining room table, where her four young children had been having dinner just hours before. It's a chilling thought to imagine what could have happened if they were still sitting there when it happened.
Paterson is urging everyone to take a close look at their ceilings and ensure they are safe and intact. As a mother, safety is her top priority, and she thought her family was secure in their own home. Sadly, this incident has shown her that sometimes, things can happen without any warning. As for now, Paterson and her children are just grateful to have escaped the ordeal unharmed and are hopeful for a speedy resolution.
