And whoopsy doodle!

An 80-lb Canadian Air Force raft actually FELL through a women’s roof in Florida.

Rameau said she thought a bomb had gone off, but she soon discovered the actual cause of the noise and flying debris was an 80-pound life raft that had fallen onto her home from Royal Canadian Air Force CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

The Royal Canadian Air Force said the helicopter had been en route to a U.S. Coast Guard Air Station in Opa-Locka for a training exercise when the raft detached.

The Air Force have said they will help the home owner with “accommodations and support“.
