Wind hits transport garage roof

The bus depot roof was badly damaged

High winds have caused damage to houses, trees and gardens across Nottinghamshire.

A section of roof at a transit garage in Nottingham was blown off in the storm early on Monday.

A homeowner in Ollerton said her son's trampoline was blown into a neighbour's garden and a tree ripped in half.

Samantha Clarke, 24, said: "A shed door was blown off and one of my outdoor glass tables was smashed into a million pieces."

The storm hit Ollerton at breakfast time on Monday, she said.

The trampoline was blown across the yard by the wind

The roof of the Nottingham City Transport depot was badly damaged in the storm, a safety officer said.

NCT employee Anthony Powell said: "It was a helluva storm - it just about blew us off our feet. I heard such a crack as a big gust of wind hit the roof and it sort of blew it off.

"We escaped into the bus so it didn't land on us."

The Met Office reported a series of tornados and high winds across England on Monday.
