The region was hit by a storm this afternoon which passed through East Anglia with wind speeds of up to 55mph.
It hit Norwich at around 3pm causing disruption on the roads and falling trees.
Church Avenue in Norwich has been closed by police after a tree brought down power cables before landing on a parked car.
Electricity companies and the fire service are on scene.
Police say the road will be closed for some time.
Forecast Manager at MeteoGroup UK, Paul Knightley, said on Twitter: “This ‘wave’ over west Norfolk is the most likely location for tornado risk. Swaffham will be close to this.”
Storm research organisation TORRO published on their website threats of isolated tornadoes and wind gusts up to 60mph.
Amid high winds earlier today there has been disruption in Ashwellthorpe, between Diss and Wymondham, where damaged power lines caused sparks due to arcing as motorists drove below them.
