A scenic woodland resembled the infamous Tunguska incident after a blast from Storm Goretti.

Huge trees were flattened by the tempest.

Drone footage and photos showed their broken trunks snapped like twigs.

They were all aligned in the same direction.

It indicated the direction the gust that destroyed them came from.

It happened to the mature cedar woods by the A394 near Marazion, Cornwall.

The scene resembled the forests of Tunguska, Russia, which were flattened by a huge explosion in 1908.

That blast was attributed to a meteor air burst, the atmospheric explosion of a stony asteroid about 200 feet wide, as reported by Need To Know.

The trees in Cornwall were flattened by the Storm Goretti weather bomb which struck on Thursday evening.

On Monday thousands of homes in Cornwall were still struggling without electricity and water.

National Grid said 7,504 properties remain without power, mostly around Helston, while South West Water confirmed about 3,000 homes were without water, but bosses were hopeful most would be reconnected later.
