A roof was ripped off a house and cars and other properties were damaged as a tornado hit a West Sussex town on Saturday night.
The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (Torro) told the BBC a "definite tornado" hit Littlehampton after a site investigation on Sunday.
The weather event came after heavy rain showers moved north east from the English Channel on Saturday evening.
Local resident Naomi Theobold told BBC Sussex it happened "really fast".
She said: "It was quite scary. All you could see was rain and debris flying around."
After it passed, she said she could see "where it had ripped through mine and the neighbours' back gardens, taking the fences out and the furniture.
"Our trampoline is currently in someone else's garden, other neighbours' cars have been damaged by debris and walls in front gardens have come down too.
"It was all quite scary."
