A MINI-tornado has ripped through the Perth suburb of Canning Vale early today, damaging houses and cars and removing tiles from roofs. Several houses have lost roofs and at least one house has lost a pergola which was propelled through a neighbour's car.
McLean Rd, Canning Vale appears to have borne the brunt of the destructive, but small min-tornado.
Part of a metal patio also wrapped itself around some overhead power lines.
Western Power have a cherry picker at the scene attempting to remove the entangled metal.
A cream coloured A-frame patio was torn off one McLean St house and over next door's house before it was impaled through the side of a Toyota people mover parked in a neighbour's driveway.
Yasmaine Millson, whose vehicle was damaged by the flying pergola said she was getting ready to go to school when the tornado hit.
"I just heard a sudden bang. We didn't know till we came out of our house that it had crashed into the car,'' said Mrs Millson, who lives at the house with her husband and four kids.
"It just happened for two or three seconds.''
Her BMW car, which was parked in the garage was also damaged. "I think it was the fence that hit the car,'' she said.
"The storm was a loud noise like a train, it was just a fraction of time. It is devastating.'' Read More
