<p>Andy Phillips, 44, who lives close to the house which has been completely destroyed, said: <em>&#8220;We live about 100 yards away, the sound was like a huge clap of thunder that shook and rattled ours and many other houses, damaging some of them.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The debris covers about a 25-metre radius.&#8221;</em></p>
