Ice fall damages suburban house

Mr McClung said the ice had smashed into many piece after the impact

A lump of ice fell from the sky and severely damaged the roof and guttering of a house in Bristol.

Bob McClung, 29, of Downend, near the city, was at work when his neighbour rang and said there had been an "explosion" at his house.

The electronics engineer arrived home on Wednesday morning to find shards of ice in his front garden.

"I thought my neighbour was joking but when I got home I was shocked," he told BBC News.
