A severe cold front over the southern half of Western Australia has uprooted trees and brought down power lines, causing minor property damage — and more severe weather is on the way.
The storm saw wind gusts peak at 107 kilometres per hour at Cape Leeuwin overnight.
Gusts of 85kph were recorded along the coast of Perth.
A section of Mandurah was blacked out during the night and trees fell on at least two houses — one in Capel and another in Nannup.
The State Emergency Service said it had received 17 calls for help, mostly to attend to roof damage.
While strong winds caused problems over the last 24 hours, rain did not — with Perth recording just over 10 millimetres.
Bridgetown received the heaviest rainfall at almost 28mm, while Manjimup had more than 26mm.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has issued a severe weather warning for the Lower South West and Great Southern regions.
The bureau is warning residents in Albany, Mount Barker, Bremer Bay, Gnowangerup, Jerramungup, Walpole and surrounding areas that severe weather is imminent.
Residents are being warned that high wind gusts could damage homes and heavy rain could cause local flooding and make travel dangerous.
A severe weather warning for the South West, Lower South West and Great Southern — including Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Manjimup and Katanning — has been cancelled.
