'Tornado-like' winds cause widespread damage in Tasmania's north-west
Winds described as "tornado-like" by emergency workers have left a trail of damage in Tasmania's north-west overnight, injuring one man and causing widespread power cuts.
Crews spent the night repairing damage after strong winds knocked down trees, blew off roof tiles and downed powerlines at Burnie, Devonport and Turners Beach.
Power was still out at Turners Beach, Wesley Vale, Latrobe, Leith, Miandetta, Blackstone Heights and parts of Launceston this morning.
There may be more to come, with a severe weather warning remaining for most of the north and north-west.
