A tornado has been reported in Caia Park just after 11am this morning.

One resident told us of the terrifying scenes at 11:20am this morning on Wynnstay Avenue: “On the field by our house I saw a bottle picked up off the road and moved on to the field and we could see the grass swirling as it moved across the grass to the goal post where it picked up the dirt”

“You could see the dust going up in the funnel and it moved off inbetween the trees of a property on Deva way!”

Others took to social media tweeting us of the incident:

Thankfully no damage or injures have been reported. Below is a vine of Wrexham.com visiting the scene….
