Residents of Coalville in Leicestershire have described the moment strong winds hit the town damaging cars, shops and homes.

A mini tornado struck at around 7am on Sunday, with the winds tearing holes into the roofs of dozens of homes.

Councillor Dr Terri Eynon said the tornado lasted for around 15 minutes and said "things were flying everywhere".

He said: "It cut a line through the town centre about half a mile long and there are lots of terraced houses that were damaged.

"We even found someone's Wendy House on a roof almost half a mile away from where it started off."

Part of the roof of a store at the Belvoir Shopping Centre was ripped off, while other images showed fences had collapsed.

Leicestershire Police confirmed high winds at around 7.20am damaged some properties, adding that no one was injured.

A Met Office spokesman said: "The set up was conducive to tornadic activity and we have had some reliable reports today."

Andrew Bridgen, MP for North West Leicestershire, said he was heading to Coalville to inspect the damage.
