A freak storm hit Perth, Australia last week causing over $100 million worth of damage. It is the worst storm to hit the city since 1994.

The storm brought with it hail, rains, flooding, landslides and gusts of wind more than 120km/hour! One of the staff with Youth With A Mission Perth reported that:

However, we rejoice because the rain has broken the drought. We had all of March’s average rainfall in 7 minutes.

Thankfully no one was injured at the YWAM Perth training centre, but the centre did receive a significant amount of damage. Ceilings were ripped off of the kitchen and classrooms. There was also flooding through the classrooms and through the auditorium. Some of the students also had to be relocated when one of the properties used for accommodation was badly damaged.

There is no new news yet from YWAM Perth about the cleanup, but you can find out more about their ministry, and hopefully read some updated news from them here.
