A tornado blew through Virginia Beach, Virginia, Sunday night, damaging dozens of homes, causing gas leaks and knocking out power, officials said.

City Manager Patrick Duhaney declared a state of emergency after the tornado touched down around 6 p.m. around River Road and North Great Neck Road, damaging between 50 and 100 homes, city officials said.

No injuries were immediately reported. 

Resident Tara Frey told the Virginian-Pilot that the tornado lasted about 10 to 15 seconds.

"I could literally feel the pressure drop in the house and I looked out the back and the wind picked up, and the rain started, and I just knew it in my gut that it was coming," she said.

The National Weather Service's Wakefield office confirmed the tornado based on "debris signature on radar, damage reports, and videos of the storm."
