Several silos at a grain terminal off Menang Drive in Wilyung, near Albany, have been knocked over by wind gusts.

A wind gust of 139km/h was recorded in Albany today with a severe weather warning in place as a cold front moves across the region.

Albany weather station duty observer Jenny Feast said strong winds and heavy rain were recorded but the damage was unlikely to be caused by a tornado.

“At this stage it doesn’t look like a tornado,” she said.
