Music fans were left shocked when a TORNADO hit Boardmasters Festivals, sending tents flying into the air with one colliding with an unsuspecting festival goer. A video, filmed by festival goer Steven Peddle, 32, around midday yesterday [13], shows tents being whipped up by wind around in a circle just near the main arena. Music fans watched on in shock as the tents circled in the air around 100 metres off the ground with one even colliding and wrapping itself around an unsuspecting nearby festival goer. Power line builder Steven, who lives in Devon, said: "I am down here with a friend that is performing at the festival and saw it starting, with not many people around noticing. "There was no wind at all, just very hot, and then you could see it building up and spiralling with dust. "Then it started ripping tents up and headed toward the main arena. "I'm not sure if there was any damage to the main tents but I saw at least 10 tents ripped up and sent over 100 metres in the air. "They were being thrown across the campsite, with one coming down and wrapping around the guy walking."
