Police have received more than 200 reports of property damage after last night’s storm, which reached wind speeds of 60 m/s.
Our readers have sent us some photos of the aftermath.
Many houses have had their roofs blown away, but the hardest-hit building is probably the Marghøllin multisports hall in Vágur, Suðuroy.
