CSIRO estimate winds accelerated to 250kmh as it came through the pine forests. A Tornado with flames. 500+ houses, Mount Stromlo Observatory, two firestations, BP service station, veterinary hospital and all the animals, schools, police colledge, ACT Medical Laboratories, RSPCA, church, National Equestrian Cente and oher horse parks/stables/horses, and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is 98% gone. Worse is A$2 million damage to Birrigai Outdoor School. Only four people dead a miracle in itself. Strange being dark like a moonless night at 3:30 pm and no electricity. An interesting day indeed.
