Perth’s south-eastern suburbs copped the brunt of a short-lived but fierce storm overnight — and possible tornado — which tore rooves off properties, felled several trees and left more than 1600 homes without power. Severe thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall lashed swathes of south-eastern Perth, with the worst of the damage occurring between 12.30am and 1.30am.

Ms Bettenay said she heard some strong winds and rain during the night but was shocked to see the huge amount of damage in the morning. “I felt the wind really, a very strong wind and very heavy rain. That’s all I detected,” she said. “When I opened the curtains I could see the shed had just exploded. “I’d say it’s wrecked. A third of the roof is off.” Such was the ferocity of those winds, parts of the shed’s roof was thrown about 100m away and up the hill on the property.
