Fences flattened across a swathe of back gardens.
Homeowners are counting the cost today after a 'tornado' hit a south coast town overnight.
Residents in Barton-on-Sea, Hants, were woken at 4am as the twister blasted its way through the town like an 'express train'.
The strength of the winds of up to 80mph shook numerous houses, sending roof tiles smashing to the ground.
A 30ft long brick wall collapsed under the strength of the gusts while fence panels were flung through the air.
Part of a garden shed that had been picked up by the tornado smashed a hole through the windscreen of a car.
