Mybe it's an icecream bar or something called tornado..?

Moni, Opening windows allows damaging winds to enter the structure. Leave the windows alone; go to a safe place. Violent winds over 150 mph and debris slamming into buildings cause most structural damage. Wind pressure is what damages a house-not air pressure. The reasons why walls and roofs go but the coffee maker on the kitchen table remains is that large objects have more force placed on them than small objects. If roofs and walls are not properly secured, they can easily become airborne. Hope this helps.
