A tornado was reported. Local media reported several damaged roofs, downed trees and damaged power lines. A roof of an outbuilding in Wola Buczkowska was probably destroyed, another residential building's roof standing nearby also sustained significant damage with some parts of the roof collapsed inside the building. Type of wind damage (trees stripped of branches and broken tree tops, the chaotic nature of roofs' damage) indicates occurrence of a tornado. Investigation in progress.
