The clean-up continues after a storm battered the southern part of the state over the weekend.

The SES received more than 100 calls for assistance, majority of those coming from the Mandurah and Rockingham areas.

Most callouts were for flooding and roof damage.

The Mandurah Forum was forced to close their doors briefly on Sunday afternoon due to a power outage, while IKEA was shut all day due to roof damage.

There were several reports of uprooted trees, downed powerlines, pot holes and flying trampolines.

The strong cold front produced some damaging winds with Garden Island recording a gust of 104km/h at 7.20am on Sunday and 93km/h at 6pm that night.
