ULLADULLA: A rare tornado swept through the small coastal town of Ulladulla in New South Wales, Australia, on Tuesday, causing significant property damage and uprooting trees.

The twister, which was captured on video by local residents, struck unexpectedly, leaving the community in shock.

Witnesses reported seeing the tornado form rapidly, with winds strong enough to tear roofs off buildings and topple large trees. Local authorities are assessing the damage, and emergency services have been deployed to assist affected residents.

“This is something we rarely see here; it’s quite alarming,” said a local resident who filmed the tornado.

The tornado’s impact raises concerns about the increasing frequency of extreme weather events in Australia, attributed to climate change.

In the wake of the tornado, local officials are expected to hold a meeting to discuss recovery efforts and potential aid for those affected. Residents are urged to stay vigilant as weather conditions remain unpredictable.
