Video: Freak winds devastate garden
A video has emerged of a house taking a battering by garden furniture after winds of 90mph struck Palm Springs in California.
The homeowner recorded footage of the luxurious back garden complete with a swimming pool during some rare but dangerously intense windy weather that struck the desert city at the weekend.

What the cameraman probably didn’t expect was the unusually extreme weather to suck up his furniture – including a table and four chairs – and send them hurtling towards the window.
As well as airborne furniture, bits of debris can be seen flying around in the fierce winds.

The damaging storm this left many trees uprooted, roads closed and homes without power – and a hefty clean-up bill.
