Emergency services were called to the scene last night after reports of a 'mini tornado' ripping through a street in Cork city.
The freak wind hit Barrack street overnight as residents were awoken by noise and debris being thrown all over the road, leaving a trail of destruction, Cork Beo reports.
The bottom of Barrack St was sealed off by emergency services and photos of the scene show the damage, with one sheet of corrugated iron seen bent out of shape and hanging from electric wires.
