yes, caravan park at Yarrawonga took a hit, and 2years prior to that Koonamoo Store (between Combram and Tocumwal) lost its roof and major property damage in the immediate area.
Could be Aus's own tornado alley

That one went as far as Bundalong so it was a fairly long alley. Few trees down along the highway there after that tornado. Thankfully there don't seem to be any sharks in the Murray, hate for there to be inland sharknados....

Wet is and understatement, Farken wet is a bit closer to the Mark, Big Steve had a saucer on his kitchen bench that filled up with a few inches of water in around 15 minutes of action ???
We were at Ulupna, somewhere between Carters and Forest beach.

I was on the way home from Warrnambool. Except for a bit of rain around Hoppers Crossing I managed to stay in front of the storm all the way home. The Western car park is painful in the rain around 3pm......
