Hundreds of people were left homeless today after a tornado ripped through residential streets in north London. Dave Bonner, of London Fire Brigade, said about 100 homes had been damaged in "freak weather", injuring six people in Kensal Rise.

Eyewitnesses told how the sky went dark and spoke of a terrifying column of debris sweeping through the area.

They said the noise was like a jet airliner. Video footage from a helicopter showed part of the side of a house had collapsed, partially covering a car parked outside.
