Hundreds of British families run for cover as 100mph winds sweep Tenerife

By Ken Bennett

Shocked Midland holidaymakers were trapped in their rooms when a sunshine island hotel was ravaged by a freak 100mph storm.

They were among hundreds of British families who had to take cover when unprecedented gales hit the Hotel Los Gigantes in Tenerife.

The winds tore metal cladding from the top of the 225-bedroomed four-star hotel, ripped through the entrance, smashing doors and windows, devastated the dining room and shattered glass in the reception area.

Problems began in the early hours of Friday morning when guests were awakened by howling winds tearing through corridors, damaging patios and doors.

At the height of the storm, which lasted several hours, some terrified guests vacated their rooms and spent the night under blankets in the hotel lounge.

The hotel, which was fully booked, is a firm favourite with British couples, and had recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment.

Many of the guests had travelled to the resort in the south-west corner of Tenerife with Thomson and First Choice holidays.
