Guides are quite keen to point at the damage on the beaches caused by them. This does seem unusual for so far south though. I've seen a bad hailstorm in December (summer) in Sydney with pea size hail covering lawns when the temp 20 minutes before was 27C ! Dave |

Incredible video of cyclone in Australia
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but surely that is not a cyclone?
Cyclones are akin to hurricanes and are large scale phenomena. That video seems to show a tornado. Agreed the tornado might be a small scale feature within a cyclone but the video does not - as I understand things - actually show a cyclone. Jack |
