You are NOT approaching a twisting storm🤣 nice to see you at home - greets from Adelaide.

[@MaN-pw1bn]

Love to see the Australian countryside - please do more of these - lovely!!!

[@PJ-cm2ik]

That was indeed some old school USA chasing. And I've been watching those a long time too. Can't wait until your next US Storm Spotting, but oh so glad you can do what you love at home too!! Thanks for the awesome video. Weather, ....it's the coolest content ever!

[@tornadostories]

Super work Daniel 🙂👍

[@etiennedauphin]

I had watched all your US chases before this one, but never got to watch you chase in your homeland. I felt like I was in the passenger seat on this one. Very nice, keep them coming. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@obsidianwing]

you really should join the Patreon if you like this , you can be a virtual Passenger on his Down Under Livestreams, they realy cool. Diffrent than the US Chases ,but also very entertaining

[@MsCori76]

Great seeing you storm chase near my area. I'm not far from Scone, in Mudgee & we copped some of this big storm here on Wednesday but luckily didn't get the hail. Stay safe & keep chasing those storms.

[@CyeMourii]

Always happy to see an upload from you!

I'm near Liverpool in Sydney and I've been told we're in a "rain shadow". I dont know if this is truthful, I've never looked into it. But I watch the radar as storms approach and they seem to split and go around either side just as they reach my area, so I dont know if its confirmation bias or not. We rarely get big storms here, they usually blow over quick when we do. Feels like 1 in 50 gets to us. Makes me sad because I absolutely love them. About 15-17ish years ago I remember so vividly a storm coming in from the east when I was living across the river from Holsworthy, the front was very long and very straight and flat and fast moving and rolling over itself. Trees uprooted, trees struck by lightning, screens ripped off the house, I dont recall if it had hail but it was very fast, very windy, had sideways rain and was gone as soon as it came. But far out it was amazing. Only a handful in the last 25 years I remember, the good ones feel so infrequent.

[@araneasmith]

I grew up in Casula and I definitely heard about that phenomenon (not sure if it was referred to then as a rain shadow, I've never heard the term before) because we used to get insane storms, while my friend near Liverpool always said "nah, we just got a bit of rain". We even had a few pretty catastrophic floods in Casula, but nothing in the Liverpool area.

Love seeing you drive on the correct side of the road again! Thanks for great content. Cheers, from Cairns

[@dariushunter6792]

Well. 80 percent world drives on the correct side, we're just the odd ones. :P

[@samsmith1532]

Love the Hunter valley stuff, I remember this storm.

[@The-Devil-Wears-Primark]

12:00 looks like a giant foot!!!! I'm loving these videos!!!!!

[@uncle4318]

Awesome video Daniel! heck of a hail storm

[@josephj6521]

Same time we were driving north along the pacific hwy. Had to reduce to 20km/h from 100km/h and the wind was ferocious!

[@lidanaude8022]

Nice road you were on..beautiful!

[@noisynobody]

I remember seeing this on the radar and me saying "goodbye Scone".

[@mornaslocum8376]

Brilliant Daniel, nice to see you back in Australia 🇦🇺 and driving on the left again, doesn’t look so awkward 🫣 in this video as does in America 🇺🇸 keep on chasing as Dr Reed would say. 😁 Cheers from Perth, West Australia 🇦🇺

[@Og-Judy]

LMAO America doesn't follow British rules😛😁

[@mornaslocum8376]

@@Og-Judy😳 Duuh , did I say they did!!! and thankfully we don’t … you also need to upgrade your History… I am Australian not British, if you can read and we haven’t been since 1986 when the Constitution separated …. One fact is I like America 🇺🇸 and have friends there but you need to get a life of positivity, you are putting your country down with your stupidity… Enjoy your day if that’s possible 👋🇦🇺

[@lidanaude8022]

Be careful guys! It is quite exciting to watch !

[@jackijordan3079]

Great video Daniel & a beautiful sunset to finish the chase. Happy New Year from Junee

[@sirorangutan4228]

Did get storms in western sydney but they split right where I was. Most storms in the Sydney basin were pretty weak, we haven't had a good storm in ages excluding the squall line of 12th december

[@madbull04]

hopefully this week provides storms for Sydney.

[@sirorangutan4228]

@@madbull04 Yup, last week had an ok storm

[@loonyboo1]

omg i was in scone in Dec/Jan this Year! im glad i left when i could man this is insane!!!

[@becky3145]

Awesome Daniel Awesome!

[@William.092]

i am local of where you filmed wish you got the storm a couple of days ago it was beautiful

[@thequeenofswords7230]

The sky looks taller in Australia.

[@clifflean]

Awesome video

[@jondavies9347]

Are there many Tornadoes in Australia?I genuinely don't hear about many.

[@mindharp]

Daniel, how many tornadoes have you seen in Australia vs US in your life?

[@Og-Judy]

Do storms move clockwise and to the south and west down under?🤔

[@C21L01]

In Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and Hobart our weather tends to favour a West to East movement while Brisbane, Darwin, Carins, etc, it tends to move the exact opposite. However, if you live in Adelaide and Melbourne, both of us tend to cop it from North and South as well from time to time. 🙄 Cyclones which hit the tropics of Northern Australia spin in a clockwise direction and the Tornadoes… yes TORNADOES spin in a anti clockwise direction.

[@debbiewashabaugh9891]

😮

[@h.r.hufnstuf4171]

I'm fooking dying for a storm here in Perth, swear I aint seen a good one since the 2000s... Boring as all buggery

[@sandrastone7019]

What was funny, the video that KZbin queued to follow this stream for me, was Daniel chasing a tornado in the US. One moment he’s driving on the left side of the road, the next, he’s on the right.

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

It's strange seeing NSW plates on the cars in Daniels videos!

[@C21L01]

“If that funnel was anything, it could be Tornadic.” Yeah, I swear near the start of this video it was actually trying to birth a tornado - there was slight rotation exactly where it was trying to drop a funnel. So it very easily could have become Tornadic. Unusual to see these types of supercells forming in January. Normally we get this September - October. 🤷‍♀️ Nice to see you back home. 😊 You really ought to do more of this at home alongside your American uploads. Cheers from Adelaide. 😉

[@Jaydaydesign]

I’m in CohunaVic on the edge of the Mallee… we are in an interesting spot where most of the storms track northwest to southeast and seem to slide north or south of us and we rarely get the full brunt of them. Makes for great storm watching out on the verandah…😊

[@travisaus2689]

Stupid question but should storm chasers use bullet proof glass ?

[@robinhilliard]

Thought it might have been the upper Hunter - then I saw the signs to Scone :)

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

No Sydney storms predicted for a week or more. .....Sigh.

[@ozthunder]

Nice to listen to live commentary, I thought I was the only one that did that

[@philsmith6583]

Hi Dan , another great vid in Aussie, question what kind of app is your rain radar please & your what kind of drone do you use , many thanks Phil

[@Robchaser1981]

Great video footage loved the heavy downpours and hail 👍👍

[@nttotd4611]

Love seeing a Daniel in America keep up the work

[@livingmultiverse5544]

Wicked stay safe Daniel

[@johnsantry5127]

Love Hail great footage

[@robycannady160]

Beautiful job

[@becky3145]

Thunder!

[@willsell456]

everytime he begins to drive on the left side of the road I forget he's in Australia and tense up as if I'm in the vehicle with him.

[@sandrastone7019]

I feel the same when he’s in the US. I live in Sydney and cannot adjust to his driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road.
