Aus Tornado 2 300X158Aerial footage has shown the devastation caused after a tornado hit two Australian states.

One resident of a caravan park in Mulwala, New South Wales said, "This is just like we're in war. Everyone's lost everything!"

Another woman described witnessing, "bits of timber and trees and pieces of caravan" flying past.

In the state of Victoria, around 20 people were injured and had to be airlifted to a local hospital.
