Among them was Katherine Atkinson, 34, of Silkstone Court, Crossgates, who described huge hailstones raining down with such force that they caused leaks in her roof at home.

"Water was coming through," she said. "I think it's the hailstones that have caused it. I've never seen hailstones that big - they were massive."

The business affected could not be reached for comment.
