A rare tornado moved through Ulladulla, New South Wales, on October 3, damaging property and felling trees during severe thunderstorms, the Bureau of Meteorology said.


Several people in Ulladulla, New South Wales, filmed a rare tornado moving through the town on October 3, BBC reported. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology said the funnel was produced by severe thunderstorms.

The bureau said it is very uncommon to see a tornado in such a populated place. The weather incident damaged properties and knocked over trees.

BBC published the resident video on October 4. No casualty count was included in that report, so none is stated here.

The event is a confirmed severe-weather incident rather than a forecast. Further damage assessments were not detailed in the BBC account used for this brief.

Daylight-saving changes elsewhere in Australia were reported separately and are not part of this event.
