Tree falls on two houses in Staffordshire village causing severe damage in heavy winds
Two vehicles were also badly damaged.
A tree has fallen on neighbouring houses in Kinver, causing severe damage to two homes and two vehicles.
Staffordshire fire crews were called to Windsor Crescent in the village at about 10pm on Saturday (April 4) after heavy winds brought by Storm Dave brought down a large tree.
The tree tore a hole in the roof of two semi-detached houses, also crushing two vehicles parked in front of the houses.
Thankfully nobody was injured, although two families have been forced to leave their homes because of the damage.
A nearby resident told the Express & Star neighbours helped to make the properties safe until council workers arrived. It is understood the families affected have been staying with loved ones since the incident.
The Met Office had warned of "severe gales" across central and northern areas of the country on Saturday night and into Sunday.
