Rare tornado strikes City Beach, damaging multiple homes in Perth, Western Australia

"A powerful tornado struck City Beach, damaging multiple homes across the western suburbs of Perth on Wednesday night (LT), July 23.

According to local media reports, the tornado likely developed from a supercell system that intensified and moved ashore between 17:00 and 17:30 local time (LT).
The storm system rapidly intensified and was detected just as it neared the coast, giving authorities little time to issue warnings for the area. The Bureau of Meteorology confirmed that the tornado likely began as a waterspout before making landfall.
While Western Australia can see around 3 to 5 tornadoes during the winters, it’s rare to see a tornado in the city of Perth, reported 9 News." W
