A freak wave of tornadoes in Poland has left at least one person dead and another 10 injured.
Local media said a national park was badly hit by one tornado that was between 800 and 1,000 metres wide.
One resident described the moment a tornado struck his property, felling trees and bringing down power lines.
"I was sleeping at the front of my house when a buzzing sound woke me up. I didn't know what was happening. I looked out and saw a huge number of branches," he said.
"Then there was a terrifying rumble. It all lasted for four or five minutes. When it all ended I looked around and saw that my yard was covered in fallen trees that had been growing nearby."

And a short letter from Kasia of Sztum: "Filmik nagrywał Piotr, na youtube wrzucił kuzyn, który był u nas z wujkiem. Wyglądało strasznie, ja w tym czasie biegałam po domu i zamykałam żaluzje."
