In pictures: Tornado hits Leeds

Readers from Leeds and Harrogate have sent in their photos showing the destruction after a tornado struck the region.

The torrential storm damaged buildings, uprooted trees and caused flash flooding across the region.

"This picture was taken outside the place where I work in Leeds near the White Rose centre," Nathan Gardner writes.

Harvey Eaton took this picture on his way home from work in Alwoodley, North Leeds. "It looked like a bombsite, I've never seen trees uprooted like that around here," he wrote.

Latif Nadim sent in this picture of two men stranded on their cigarette break. A clean-up operation in the area is now under way.
