"While the severe weather warning may have been cancelled, there are many fallen trees, damaged buildings and debris in the area, and South Coast Highway is closed between Link Road Denmark-Mt Barker Road," the Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA warned residents.

"Currently there are 15,500 properties without power and water outages in Little Grove and Robinson in Albany.
"Bottled water is available for affected properties from the bus stop and the Little Grove Store on Frenchman Bay Road."
Authorities have advised that after a storm SES volunteers make temporary repairs to homes that have been badly damaged, such as roofs that have been ripped off or large fallen trees on homes or cars.
If it is safe to do so, residents are urged to do what they can to help before calling the SES for assistance.
If your home has been badly damaged by a storm, call the SES on 132 500. In a life threatening situation call 000.
