There were tornados reported in the area.
There was some albeit very brief video footage shown on TV News of the storm clouds in that area and one brief clip, to me at least, was a perfect example of a small Tornado.
When I did my CPL Met theory many years ago, the Met Lecturer (Bob S. At YPFL TAFE in the early 80's)was a qualified Meteorologist, CPL Holder and Instructor as well, and he told us that Tornados are far more common in Australia than a lot of people realise.
