More than 20 homes remain off limits today after a tornado brought devastation to a residential area of north London.
Local authorities in Kensal Green are preparing to assess the damage caused by yesterday’s storm.
Six people were hurt and 150 homes were damaged when the freak weather hit the area.
It is feared the weakened chimneys of many of the properties could now be a serious safety hazard.
Authorites have confirmed that 24 houses are now uninhabitable, while other residents are only being allowed back into their homes to collect belongings.
Tornado struck in seconds
Local people are being looked after in a local hall and are being asked to call 020 8937 5255 for the latest information.
One man has been released from hospital after treatment for a minor head injury, while five people were treated at the scene for minor injuries and shock.
Insurers estimate that the damage will run into millions of pounds.
Reports of the tornado came in from Chamberlayne Road in Kensal Rise at 11am, and 25 fire engines were sent to the scene.
Dawn Butler, Labour MP for Brent South, told Sky News: “We have to try and make sure that those people who are put out and not able to get their belongings that it does not have a detrimental effect upon their Christmas.”
Sky News weather forecaster Francis Wilson said tornadoes generate winds in excess of 100mph.
