A tornado has swept through a Hampshire town, causing damage to properties and trees to fall down.
The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation said it tracked the column of air moving about 1.2 miles (2km) through the Aldershot area shortly after 12:00 BST.
Nobody is believed to have been injured, Rushmoor Borough Council said.
The authority urged residents to call emergency services if they saw damaged trees they believed were dangerous.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said: “Firefighters are part of a joint response at an incident in Aldershot after a number of properties and trees were damaged in strong winds.
“Crews from Rushmoor and Surrey Fire and Rescue Services were first called shortly after midday and are working closely with partner agencies to make the scene safe.”
