There is an article about the weather in today's The Canberra Times. Apparently, the storm that hit Murrumbateman is the same storm that hit Crookwell, north west of Canberra. The article states that the path of the storm can be tracked from Crookwell to Murrumbateman and the damage to whatever was in the path of the storm is quite extensive. My wife and I heard it the other night, as we were outside watching the 'light show', but didn't realise the severity of it until I was driving to work the following morning and saw some of the damage. What surprised me as I was driving through the area was there was no damage, then all of a sudden the road was a mess and trees had been destroyed for a few hundred metres, then it was back to no damage again. It was a very defined path that the storm (which is being described as a 'mini tornado') cut through Murrumbateman.
Fortunately, damage was, as far as I know, restricted to property and no-one was injured.
