At approximately 5.45 on Tuesday 8th. August 2000 a tornado hit the Boardman Stadium completely destroying the building.
More than 100 parents and children had a lucky escape when a twister, registering winds of 150km per hour, swept through the sports centre bringing down the roof and back wall during an Under 8 basketball series.
A paramedic said it was a miracle no-one was killed or seriously injured.
