"Everything is destroyed, all I found were a few of my eagles and my PS4, which I hope still works," Barber said.

No one in the Barber family was injured and they'll all be working together to pick up the pieces of their rural residence.

Barber says the family dog was at home when the storm blew through, but it made it out, unharmed.
