Clean-up operations are continuing in a Co Leitrim village after a 'localised' tornado caused significant damage to a number of buildings during Storm Fergus yesterday.

High winds tore through Leitrim village at around 12.30pm yesterday, leaving cars, buildings, boats, and trees badly damaged.

There were no reports of serious injuries, although it is understood one man received treatment for cuts to his head after wooden planks landed on his car windscreen.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, the owner of the Leitrim Inn and Blueway Lodge said the street her premises is on looked like a war zone.

Adeline Guckian described her shock at the damage to the building and said it was a miracle that no-one was killed.

"I just ran down the street. I didn't know what to expect. And when I seen, you know, all the emergency responders there, and the state of the village I was just shocked. It was like a warzone," she said.
