The trouble flared after locals mistook the Mecca bingo as a new asylum centre and began rioting, after several hours the police brought the troubles under control, early estimates put the damage at around £30.
One resident - Sharon Jones, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "it was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes come running into my bedroom crying.
My youngest two,
Tyler-Sparkle and
Pixie-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Lorraine the next morning".
Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of White Lightning to the stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.
Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:
Baseball caps;
Full matching tracksuits;
Nike trainers;
Onesies;
UGG Boots and any other items usually sold in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Microwave meals,
Pot Noodles, Tins of baked beans, ice cream, Cans of Strong Bow or Special Brew and of course pies, pasties or sausage rolls from Greggs.
12p buys a biro for filling in compensation forms.
£5 buys cheesy chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.
