Social media groups across Rockingham are abuzz about the prospect of a tornado having hit the area at the height of this morning’s storm.
Wind gusts of up to 113kmh were detected at Garden Island, off the Rockingham coast, about 9.10am this morning.
A Bureau of Meteorology spokesman said while they couldn’t confirm whether it was a tornado, the conditions were on par for tornado weather.
It’s understood if there’s a narrow strip of damage, it’s more likely a tornado than a series of thunderstorms rolling through the area.
