Interesting. I didn't realize you don't have tornadoes there.

We get cyclones sometimes but that's only up north closer to the tropics.
It's crazy they got a tornado in NSW, and then another mini one hit Bronte the other day I think? Freakin weird weather.

Kristy that does sound strange. We take them for granted almost here in the US. An everyday thing pretty much in the spring and summer in the south and midwest. Where I live they are less frequent. We get the waterspouts offshore that move inland. Plus an occasional one inland. I am in the LA area, too mountainous to get the proper wind sheering, and updrafts next to each other. The building I work in had it's roof partially tore off by a small one a few years ago.

Yeah we don't get tornadoes at all here, so to have 2 in a day is just mental. the one up north was quite bad. the one in Sydney was weird, it hit one house! yeh, we dont get anything like you guys in the US do. But yeh we get cyclones up north in the summertime. the weather is weiiird

In Britain we almost never get tornados or hurricanes or anything that comes close to an earthquake or volcano... just lots of rain.

Guess they don't come as far as New Zealand, I've never seen one before. Though being on a fault line we're prone to heaps of minor earthquakes, and the city I live in is built on a big dead volcano. All the live ones are in the North Island :-P

I'd think I jinxed my country, one devastating earthquake and several slightly less damaging ones, 2 tornados in the north island in a couple of weeks. What is going on with this crazy world?

After what I said earlier in this thread, we had an earthquake in the English channel.

From Wikipedia: Tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica. However, the vast majority of tornadoes in the world occur in the Tornado Alley region of the United States, although they can occur nearly anywhere in North America.[7] They also occasionally occur in south-central and eastern Asia, the Philippines, south east Asia, like Malaysia,[8] northern and east-central South America, Southern Africa, northwestern and southeast Europe, western and southeastern Australia, and New Zealand.
