Hundreds of homes are without electricity in the area as ESB crews work to restore power
Clip:
A black cloud descended in the east Galway village at about 7pm, tearing down trees, damaging houses and breaking tombstones in the local graveyard near St Brendan?s Cathedral.
The storm, which has been described by many locals as tornado- and twister-like, also knocked out electricity in hundreds of homes in Clonfert and nearby Banagher. [Tornado touches down to the NNW of Banagher Co. Offaly, image courtesy of 'Dynamo Roller' boards.ie]
WeatherInIreland.com has described the event as a tornado, adding that it is ?likely to be classified as at least an EF2 tornado on the Fujita Scale although a ground examination must be carried out to confirm this?.
