A mini-twister or similar weather phenomenon is believed to have hit the Honeyborough area of Neyland last night (Thursday).

At around 9.40pm a loud roar was heard followed by a rush of wind in the Wood Lane/Honeyborough Grove areas.

It lasted for around a minute.

One resident said: "The sky had gone really dark quite quickly and it began to rain very heavily. The wind picked up and then there was this really loud roar.

"One of our dogs started to bark and from the house we could see our garden solar lights being thrown all over the place, it was really strange.

"This morning there are leaves and other debris all over the garden and in our drive way but thankfully no damage."

But damage has been reported at Neyland cemetery, on the outskirts of the town. Some small trees were broken and flowers which had been left on graves ended up scattered across the site.

BBC Wales weatherman Derek Brockway was contacted by residents. He said: "It is difficult to say whether the gust of wind was due to a tornado or not without further evidence, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

"A trough moved through Pembrokeshire yesterday evening bringing heavy showers. "The air was unstable with cumulonimbus clouds, which tower upwards, and these can sometimes bring heavy rain, hail, thunder and sudden gusts of wind.

"If conditions are right in the atmosphere, these clouds can produce a funnel cloud. If the funnel cloud touches the land it is called a tornado. If it touches the sea, it is called a waterspout."
