Paul Johnson lives on Dovedale Road and his chimney has fallen onto his garage. He said: "I heard it fall. Now I've come to look at this tree because it’s quite spectacular. The wind was horrendous. Absolutely horrendous. Jonathan Allen, who also lives nearby, said: "The children's trampoline lodged up and bowled along the garden and hit the fence. It caused great consternation amongst the children."
