1973 Brisbane, Australia Tornado

Forty three ppl have been killed by tornadoes in recorded history.

tornados do happen there just extremely rare in australia

not super rare, about 20 a yea i think the statistic is... but yea nothing compared to the usa! one actually hit about 3 hrs south of brisibane about a year and a bit ago. is hit near a city called lismore in a more rural area called dunoon. look it up if you don't believe me. there have been others too one in sydney a while back. i'm not surprised at all that one once hit brisi

im pretty sure its more then 20, i think its something like 300 tornados in australia each year! exept most of them arent very bad so there hard to capture on video, ive seen the one at dunoon captured by jimme degura i think his name is awesome!

i looked it up back when that one hit dunoon. it was a "2" followed by at least 1 zero it could have been 200? i not sure as it was quite some time ago. anyway they are relatively hard to get on video but they are here

yea

also my dad has lived here his whole life and while driving around for work he's seen a few water-spouts (water-tornados) out over the ocean. mainly around byron bay (also known as cape byron) (most easterly point of aus for anyone who doesn't recognize the name)

yeh hes so lucky to witness them, I just found out on wikipedea this is one of the worst tornados recorded in australian history with winds up to 300kph!!!

sounds about right. my parents both remembered hearing about it and told me when that little one came near where i live. i've never seen any kind of tornado or water spout. the closest i get are those little wirly bird things that form around buildings. but i once saw a twister when i was 5 (i don't really remember so i don't count it) that was a mini one. did no damage at all it was that puny but yea i was out west at my aunt's farm so yea and it blew out in seconds so i only got a glimpse

the next best i've seen is actually the same kind of "twister" about a month ago in my school's student car-park which is gravel/dirt 2 other people saw it (my friend and a staff member) anyway it didn't even damage a single car (unless you count a thin layer of dust) it was a fluke kind of thing ya know? no noise either. just a random wirling wind. so yea that's about as close as i get. lol both my worst twisters a fly could survive getting hit by! but this(video) yea. that was a bad one!
