The tornado-like windstorm with its characteristic violent cyclone movement, known in local parlance as \u2018Aziza wind\u2019, carried the whole roof off some buildings, took them into the sky, danced angrily with the affected roofs before coming down heavily on other buildings many distances away, creating more devastation at the landing points. The angry hurricane with its tempestuous, wild and violent mood pulled down walls of buildings, uprooted pillars of a building in unbelievable manners and in some instances brought down palm trees, which landed heavily on buildings as in the instance of the Ogbe-Udu Secondary Schools, where a palm tree tore off the roof and part of the wall of the building.<\/span><\/p>\n

At God\u2019s Power Mission, an entire stretch of the wall of the Church building, already taken to lintel level was brought down by the whirlwind, leaving twisted rods, and shattered blocks in its trails. God\u2019s Favour Schools, a private school in the town was a total wreck when the team visited. The entire buildings housing the various classrooms were reduced to rubbles by the uncontrollable anger of the winds with the proprietress crying for help so she could stand to her feet again. Even the most elderly man of the community, Pa. Otakoha Oluku was not spared from the wrath of the evil wind as part of the roof of his building was also blown off.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the government-owned Ogbe-Udu Primary School, the roof of an adjoining building outside the school compound was tossed completely into the air, carried into the school compound and crushed one of the school building before rising up like a wicked deity on a vindictive mission, danced furiously in the air again before landing on another building about half a kilometer away. A section of the roof of St. Thomas\u2019 Anglican Church, Ogbe-Udu was also affected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deacon Godwin Okomitete says that the devastation and experience of the people since the unfortunate incident happened was overwhelming, adding that it was the first of its kind in the community. He disclosed that many people slept in the cold that night while hundreds of others, particularly the indigent ones who have been suffering from untold hardship since the visit of the malevolent hurricane. He appealed to the local government, state and federal governments to come to the aid of the affected villagers so they could have succor and be restored to their normal life. Bishop Ebrubakijesu Sele, whose Church building was brought down by the hurricane also appealed to the government to intervene so as to help give his congregation a befitting place of worship.<\/span><\/p>\n
