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