Yes, hopefully some pics of the actual tornado given it was daylight. There's a few articles about the damage.

Here's the radar loop (weather chaser ones have some missing images unfortunately so this is not a permanent link) which shows the line of activity passing through just after 0000 UTC on 20th May

So this sounding went up *just before* the tornado occurred.

There are reports that a tornado has hit the suburb of Canning Vale, Perth just after 8:00am on Friday. It is said to have uprooted trees, ripped tiles from roofs and flattened fences.

Be interesting to see what information, photos and videos are released through out the day to confirm this.
