I once flew insurance assessors to a station in South Australia.
A caravan (the kind that you tow) had been shattered and spread across the plain like confetti. Only the wheels were left. A trailer from a road train had been moved about 30 metres. A water tank had also been shredded nd spread around. The top had been ripped out of a gum tree.
A cessna 172 which was not tied down, and was about 100 metres waywas undisturbed.
The house was un disturbed.

This fierce, localised event must have been a tornado.
