Private citizens and businesses have offered to help Westmoorings residents repair their homes after a tornado, on October 7, wreaked havoc around midday.

The convergence of a low-level trough and daytime heating caused the formation of a weak tornado, which was still strong enough to rip off roofs and traumatise residents.

Videos of the affected areas showed torn-off roofs lying in the road, crumpled roofs and other structures.
