Caught the morley/dianella funnel cloud on video, just trying to upload it now...hopefully comes out alright

[Rainbow Bright]

Well I was totally disappointed by today! There was just a bit of rain at lunch time and cloudy for the rest of the day. Sun's out now. A whole swathe of southern suburbs probably didn't get much if anything. There was a diagonal line of nothing! Have some views of clouds to the south which is a saving grace...having a bad day anyway

A mini tornado has torn through the north Perth suburbs of Dianella and Morley.

Strong winds knocked down trees and caused damage to buildings this afternoon.

Western Power has confirmed there are about 5,000 buildings without power and crews are on site assessing damage.

A building has been damaged on the corner of Walter Road West and Wellington Road and there are trees and power lines down on Morley Drive between Alexander Drive and Camboon Road.

A witness has told the ABC there has been damage to power lines near the Galleria Shopping Centre.

Western Power is urging people to stay away from fallen power lines and report damage to 13 13 51.
