From a distance, he could see the tornado picking up and tossing debris.
Once he got to the scene, on Allens Rd, several buildings had been damaged.
People were inside Elite Bathroomware when the tornado hit, he said.
"They've got quite a few staff in now and electricians making sure the wires are safe," he said.
The Electric Motor Group building next door had also been damaged.
"There are parts of roofs sitting entangled in fences," Boughey said.
Trees had been brought down and buildings damaged about 500m away in Arwin Place also, he said.
