The roof of a row of houses came down on Sunday night on the Kastanjeberg in Roosendaal. The cause was the strong wind. Solar panels also came down. Some ended up in a tree.
The fire brigade removed the loose parts of the roof using an aerial platform. The extent of the damage was still unclear on Monday morning. It is also not yet known how many houses have had their roofs blown away.
