No injuries or homes affected
In the impressive images filmed by Météo Mayenne, we can see a horn descending from a large cloud, behind homes.
The tornado only lasted a few minutes. No homes were affected and no injuries were reported. Only the roofs of several agricultural buildings were blown away by the intensity of the winds.
