fantastic capture here Tony! I don’t get to see a cloud base like this too often in Brisbane! :)

thanks for adding your comments Michael and Mark – though this base is not rotating at all…pure outflow feature, and Mark you are actually located in a great area to see severe storms (SEQ)

thanks again and I am glad you like this one :)

Spectacular again! Do you get tornado’s in Australia?

Tony Middleton, 2 months ago

thanks Barbara ! We certainly do get tornadoes in Australia just not quite as frequent or as violent as the USA…They occur more often in the mid latitudes of the country rather than the tropics.
