Business owner Mike Roberts says about 1,000 panes of glass were shattered.
Mike Roberts said people heard crashing as a finger-like cloud formation, which others mistakenly thought was a tornado, swept through rural West Pinchbeck on Saturday afternoon.
The Met Office said a video posted on TikTok showed a "funnel cloud" rather than a tornado, adding "conditions were right" for the weather event.Mr Roberts, owner of Alpha Plants, said: "It's absolutely devastating. "We're standing here with just inches of glass around our feet, twisted bents and glazing bars across the floor. About 2,000 square metres of glass is affected."The glass was tough enough to resist wind speeds of up to 90mph , he said, but "the twirling and swirling" of the cloud forced three connecting buildings to smash."It's really upsetting to see the amount of damage.
"Most of the orders had already gone and the last few that were due to go out were in houses that was unaffected by the damage. So from that point of view, we got away lightly."According to the Met Office, a funnel cloud is a cone-shaped formation that appears to dangle beneath a larger cloud towards the ground without actually reaching the surface.
