Hailstones damage roofs

The freak hailstone storm which affected the Ness area of Lewis damaged windows and garage roofs.

Hailstones punched large holes through the roof of a garage belonging to Robert and Nancy Davidson (pictured above) in Swainbost.

Perspex panels on the garage, neighbouring their home, need to be replaced.

The hail stones - described as being the size of marbles - rained down in a heavy torrent late on Thursday night.

Hailshowers continued through Friday in advance of high winds and a Force 8 to 9 gale.

A Perspex sheet on the roof of this outhouse (above) in Habost was also badly damaged.
