The roof, as well as debris from Hemsby Beach Holiday Park, also hit a car belonging to Sue Farr and another vehicle and home.

But park owner Richardson's sprang into action and work has already been carried out to clear the debris and repair the damage.

The park manager contacted the properties' owners straight away, offering assistance and to see what repairs were needed to the homes.

A contracted roofer was working on the property today to ensure the homes were water-tight ahead of repairs.

Mrs Farr, 62 and who has lived in The Glebe for a year, said: "A roof blew off a holiday chalet and came over the fence and landed on the roof of our bungalow.

"Other bits have hit my car which I've only had for two weeks.

"It could have been worse. My granddaughter was especially scared and my grandson actually saw it happen.

"He was sat in the bedroom on his game and watched the roof lift off and come over."

Mrs Farr said it could have been worse if the incident happened during the night.

She said another property, which was empty, and another car were also damaged.

Richardson's said a roofing contractor is due to visit the homes on Monday to replace tiles and broken fences will also be repaired.

Staff also cleared up debris in the holiday park after storm had ripped the roofs off two connected chalets.

Greg Munford, Richardson's chief executive, said the holiday park manager was in contact with the property owners straight away offering assistance.

Mr Munford added: "Our first concern was that everyone was safe and then looking at the damage that had been caused.

"It was a freak incident."

The holiday park had recently enjoyed a £1.3m investment project.

Hemsby was also hit by a power cut during the storm.
