Tens of thousands of residents are without power across one major Australian city as an intense storm lashes the coast, with authorities warning the worst is still to come.
The powerful weather event, typically seen only once every five years, could bring wind gusts of up to 125km/h to Perth and communities along Western Australia's coast.
Images of widespread destruction have flooded social media, including one showing a shed seemingly tossed into a swimming pool in Mandurah on the southwest coast.
There were widespread power outages in multiple parts of Perth and its surrounds, with about 10,000 customers affected state-wide, according to Western Power.
Most were expected to have their electricity restored by mid-afternoon.
Wind gusts of 107km/h were recorded at Busselton Jetty in the morning, while 102km/h gusts were recorded at Rottnest Island.
