The Bureau of Meteorology has said the violent storm that tore through the Geelong suburb of Waurn Ponds early Wednesday morning was a tornado, marking a rare weather event for Victoria. There are around 60 tornadoes every year in Australia, most of them in NSW and Queensland, with only one or two recorded in Victoria each year. The BOM released the preliminary findings of its investigation into the storms and thanked locals for helping meteorologists survey the storm's impact, even as they were trying to clean up their damaged properties. The bureau's Victorian Weather Services Manager Peter Otto described the tornado as a "frightening event" for residents. The State Emergency Service received more than calls for help from residents in Geelong, Ballarat and Stawell during the storms, which hit Waurn Ponds hardest, severely damaging a number of homes. The BOM team used a US system for categorising tornadoes called the Enhanced Fujita scale, or EF-scale, which rates the damage to trees and buildings to infer wind strengths. The team found that winds reached between and kilometres per hour during the storm, confirming it was a tornado.
