Thousands of homes in West Australia were without power after a fierce storm rolled through the state’s southwest on April 21, bringing lightning and rain.

The storm, which continued well into the early morning, dumped up to 40 millimetres of rain overnight and left over 5,000 homes in Mandurah, Bunbury, and Australind without electricity, WA Today reported.
