Cool pictures!

Is this a summer-time phenomena?

Do these formations lead to tornadoes?

Cool pictures!

Thanks

Is this a summer-time phenomena?

Yes, we are in summer in the southern hemisphere but the storm season stretches from around September through December to around March

Do these formations lead to tornadoes?

Tornadoes do occur in Australia, but that are not as common nor as big as their USA cousins

So ahh Dave, hey we'd be willing to export a few of these F5 babies. I mean if you're interested.I'm sure the folks here would be happy for them living in another country as nice and big as Australia.

They don't take up a lot of space and they due tend to rain on parades. Oh yes, and don't be living in a trailer home at the time otherwise you'll wind up in Kansas.
