@@josephj6521 There wouldn't have been any footage. It occurred in the early hours of the morning prior to sunrise. There was no warning. A part from the section of Townsville Queensland that got hit, I am not sure how many people were woken by the sound of the Tornado. Except I did my father had just died day or two before and I swear I only woke up because he was warning me to wakeup, something was about to happy. The only footage was on local TV News that night. Being a regional centre, I doubt it got picked up by the major city news stations. I honestly had never seen or heard of a tornado in Australia until that morning and I was inky 60s when it hit. Since then there have been reports of other tornadoes in Australia and we have lived and worked in four States and the NT.

My family and I experienced the tornado that went through Tolmie in 2018. We were staying in a camper trailer on my father-in-law's property for a visit at the time. It sounded like an aeroplane coming down, I looked out the window and saw it coming. we had just enough time to grab the kids and run for the house! It flipped the camper and almost tore the top off it. Sent our stuff (table, chairs, etc.) across the paddocks, and just missed the house, thank goodness. It was terrifying. I still have trouble sleeping when it's really windy. Great footage. I didn't even know that that area got tornados until we experienced it. Apparently, there are quite a few, but they mostly happen where no body lives, or they just go through a paddock without causing much damage. Teh sad part was, not long before it happened, my 8-year-old son had asked if we got tornados after watching something on TV about the US, and I had said no, just willy-willys - I had no idea!

[@krisushi1]

@@zx6angel978 I never had heard much about tornados when in Melbourne. It wasn't until I moved to the Northeast that I then knew that the area experienced quite the number. I even saw one form over Mt. Porepunkah but it fizzled out. Lost power for about 12hrs after the night this happened. You just don't know where they are going to form and then it's really too late.

Kangaroo's are smart. There's a lady along the western hwy in Vic heading towards Sth Aust, she takes in injured roo's, nurses them back to health & releases them back out when they are better. When there's bushfires & other natural disasters, the kangaroo's trust her enough to go there for refuge until its safe to go back out. The kangaroo's also take their baby Joey's to show her. I don't know if she is still there now. They are mammals, mammals have emotion, love, empathy & loyalty just like us because we are mammals too. Not like reptiles & snakes, they would kill the person that feeds them with no guilt at all.

WoW, incredible footage, thanks for sharing.

[@elisekellett2378]

Wow I hope any farm animals, sheep etc were ok. We had a tornado last Christmas night through the Gold Coast. My first Christmas after moving here. It was scary AF. Luckily it was around 8.30 - 9.00pm and we saw it approaching on the weather radar and I had time to get home from our Christmas day family get together. Magnificent lightning show (no thunder) for a good half hour before the tornado hit. Then BOOM. The devastation of the aftermath was huge. Mt Tambourine without power for two weeks. Other local suburbs for a week and this is in the middle of Australian tropical summer. So many trees down, massive flooding, houses damaged or destroyed. I had never experienced anything like that. 😢 Can't wait to see what happens this summer 😮

[@amyboleszny543]

It dropped right over our townhouse complex. My husband saw it out of his study window and the trees on the were bent over horizontal. Fortunately we sustained no damage, just tree losses, but it intensified as it moved down Discovery Drive and got much worse over Oxenford and up to Tambourine. The trees round us are a major roosting site for rainbow parrakeets. The loss of bird life must have been shocking. I have not heard how the local koala colony fared. A tradie who came to fix an awning 3 weeks go has been living in caravan in Tambourine since and was due to get his house finally fixed to move into - more than 6 months after the event. First responders who live in the area where coming down to help people in our area. I met two who had no home to go back to. Let us hope we never get another night like that one.

[@huioliver]

Yeah I live in the Gold Coast hinterland. Those storms last Christmas were something else entirely. Just escaped the damage here but sure as hell lost power for 8 days. I'm glad you bought this up however. Just my opinion of course but I actually don't see any reason to believe a single tornado dropped from those Gold Coast storms. Or if one did drop it did the minority of damage at best. The radar images certainly did not show a supercell, what tornadoes typically generate from, and any hook echoes were vague at best. Literally all the damage was consistent with straight line winds, not twisters like the monster in this video. Also of note this tornado for example was over in a few seconds, the winds from the Gold Coast storms went on for 5-15 minutes. And then there was the damage path widths, several times wider than the largest tornado ever recorded. Yet everyone is saying tornado tornado, including the dysfunctional BOM. Although rare there are such a thing as storms that cause that much damage without generating tornadoes. Regardless of the facts its the way the public just went and created their own facts. Believing the first thing that triggered the most attention and not giving anything else a second thought. For whatever reason I actually find it quite devastating on this occasion that the public in general just has no interest in the actual science or in debate and critical thinking. I literally have not commented on anything on the internet in years but heck I'm just gonna leave this here if nowhere else and maybe if but one person reads this I will feel a tad better to get this off my chest, lol.

[@Timbuck77]

⁠@@huioliver you are 100% correct. I’m local and drove every road and street from Tamborine to the coast , all tree’s and damage was from straight line winds. Classic DRECHO storm event. The damage was 5 kms wide ingredients where not supported for a 5 km wide tornado in australia. There is a new study article on the event and it has came to the same conclusion. Media is a big problem. Tornado , mini tornado. Facts don’t matter.

[@shaqbarclark4277]

I beg to differ you couldn't get the media to say tornado up until they were actually caught on camera, now they don't have a choice but to admit the existence of a tornado when it happens, straight line winds can be present with tornadoes as well and it most definitely would have been a supercell to produce that much damage!!

[@amyboleszny543]

Interesting that they got such severe winds on 25/8. The more widespread damage didn't come until 2/9. Power went out for me (West Gippsland) that evening and wasn't restored for about 5 days. Much damage, even consistent with small tornadoes, like trees with ~3ft thick trunks twisted off a few meters from the ground. I had on tree (1ft thick branch) twisted off about 10m from the ground, spun around and the twisted off branch wedged in the V of the same tree that it came from. Luckily, the trees seem to have taken the brunt of the winds, which peaked at ~125km/h, and I didn't suffer any significant building damage. Others weren't so lucky and lost the roofs of their houses.

I drove through Martins Gap on the weekend - the damage is just amazing. If it was in the city, I have no doubt many would have lost their lives. Interested in finding out what rating the tornado would be. It looks a LOT weaker here than the damage shown in Martins Gap!

We had one go through our district about 10 years ago, it came off the coast just north of Kiama and travelled west just missing Jamberoo and continued west where it faded out as it hit the escarpment near minnamurra falls. Friends of the family's historic house took a direct hit in Jamberoo. You could clearly see the path for years. It was well documented in the local paper "The Illawarra Mercury"
