Sandra, we know the area where the tornado happened - it touched down at Peel, a tiny village outside Bathurst, that we have driven through on our way to/from Canberra. (we a choice of several routes we can take, that one is my favourite) It's not far from Wattle Flat/Sofala, the site of gold rushes in the 1800s.

There was also a tornado closer to home, in the Narrabri area a couple of hours west.

Rain is forecast for today and tomorrow. So far - 11 a.m. - it is warm and sunny. That will not last.
