Did a MASSIVE tornado just RIP through SYDNEY sending cattle FLYING and cars into the STRATOSPHERE?? Well, no, but the footage sure is fun to watch. The weather sure has been all over the place lately, hasn’t it?
Just yesterday we wrote about a scorching heatwave travelling to the south of Australia with a burning vengeance. That whole fiasco is still going down, but while the heat escapes the eastern and northern states, a wild weather event has taken its place. Balance, y’know?
A huge water spout (which is often mistaken for a tornado) was spotted off the coast of Dee Why on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. According to Google a water spout is an “intense columnar vortex that occurs over a body of water”. I don’t know man, sounds like a bloody tornado to me.
Some folks caught the spiralling water on candid cam and the footage is truly frightening. Thankfully, water spouts are relatively harmless for those on land — they mostly pose a threat to swimmers, boats and aircrafts. So think of them as a tornado’s distant, less dangerous cousin.
