A powerful tornado has hit towns and villages close to the Italian city of Bologna.

At least 11 people have been injured and several houses were damaged.

Amateur footage shows debris flying above homes across the area, as James Coomarasamy reports.

There has never been any serious tornadoes in the area, for as long as anybody can remember. I've been listening to some crazy interviews: one of the witnesses said "first it was a huge one, than it did split in four/five ones, than struck the area. It looked like some planned attack!"
Another one said "i got this phone call from my neighbor, he said "You'd better come here, your roof is no onger there!". About 60 homes lost their roofs, many farms were completely destroyed, 14 containers (they were there to operate as HQ after the 2012 Earthquake) are missing.
Of course it wasn't a breeze, fortunately nobody lost his life.
