A rare tornado killed at least one person and injured 10 others today in the coastal city of Zierikzee in the southwest of the Netherlands, emergency services said.
The whirlwind left a trail of damage, blowing the roofs off four homes and causing the front of one house to collapse, the Zeeland province safety authority said in a statement.
"The damage is considerable in several streets in Zierikzee. In addition to flying roof tiles and fallen trees, roofs have been blown off four houses." Images on social media showed debris thrown into the air on a column of rotating wind and a large white funnel of cloud extending from the base of a darkened sky.
