Check out this tornado (reminds me of a Colorado landspout) from the Lara area of Australia. There is a nice photo and article along with a short YouTube video.

.Yeah true enough Michael...those dust sheath spouts are dime a dozen in Colorado during the good High Plains summers. Instead of massive...I would have used the terms long or stretched out to it's limits. Now the Greensburg family of tornadoes...those were massive !!!converging outflow boundarys?I'm in Sydney so wasnt there to see it myself, however looking at the sounding I highly doubt it was a supercellular tornado, rather a landspout associated with maybe a convergence line and some pretty nice lapse rates down low. Another couple of shots of it are below

www.sydneystormchasers.com (http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/www.sydneystormchasers.com)man.. video made me nauseous...I find it interesting how they describe the tornado as a huge tornado. Here in America we wouldn't even classify that as a supercelluar tornado, just a landspout though it is quite a spectical.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
