Quite a large amount of house damage.
Coolingup copped the full brunt of the force. As has Read St.
I was in LT1 all night.
Absoloutly Shocking damage mate, As i said read street looks like some one had driven down it in a tank.
There were also several houses missing roofs completely, Fenses were almost none existant.

Both Melville vehicles were sent down to assist, Melville 01 had an eight man crew for jobs and melville 02 was sent down an hour later with the lighting trailer.
House's were missing entires sides of roof ect one shed was blown away completely, the only evidence that a shed was ever there was the fact that the tornado left the sheds contents almost untouched
The firies did alot of scouting to help prioritise jobs and the only police we saw were all just lighting up traffic hazards as it was pitch black.
