It developed rapidly also, and at 2:30pm a number of reports sent to the Bureau of Meteorology reported a tornado had touched down in Oakhurst, a rural area 10 km west of Maryborough.

Examination by a severe weather team from the Bureau of Meteorology examined the damage in the Bucca and Kolan region and recorded it as an 'F4' on the Fujita scale.

The supercell then spawned a tornado in the Bucca and Kolan area.

The meteorological instability in the region resulted in the formation of at least five supercell thunderstorms in the space of around three hours.
The weather system that spawned the Bucca tornado was also responsible for an F3 tornado at Oakhurst.
