"A mini-tornado across Melbourne this afternoon has damaged buildings and
brought down tree branches from Altona to Rosebud.

The State Emergency Service (SES) has responded to more than 25 calls from
home-owners reporting property damage. Crews say the worst affected area
was in Altona, where up to 10 houses were damaged in Stirling Street. SES
spokesman Peter Cox says the strong winds took around 20 minutes to move
across the city.

"There is quite a deal of damage, quite a few roofs damaged, trees down,
things that look like a very severe weather event," Mr Cox said. "Some of
the locals down there are saying it was a tornado as such."
