It would appear that a tornado hit the Townsville suburb of Vincent. Even the Townsville AWS recorded gusts to 111 km/h at 5.07AM EST. Possibly a waterspout came ashore though it's caused significant damage.

  1. Michael,

    This definitely looks tornadic given the localisation and abrupt nature of the damage and corrugated iron wrapped around branches etc. Shows much chaos.
