“The wind didn’t come until 5am this morning which is when winds started to gust and that’s when things started to come loose.”
The SES team have received five calls from 6am to 9am.
“Three calls have been in the Wannaup and Falcon area, where they experienced really strong winds down there patios, bits of roof and trees down,” Mr Stickland said.
“Two other SES assistance calls have been along the coast in Silver Sands.”
Mr Stickland said Mandurah residents’ verandas were commonly damaged.
