A freak tornado on the Croatian coast struck holidaymakers at the Kazela camp in Istria on Saturday.

Trailers, cars and tents were badly damaged and some trailers overturned while people sheltered inside.

A sudden drop in temperature of 20 degrees has been suggested by the State Division for Protection and Rescue as the cause of the phenomenon.
