- Sydney was hit by a tornado, severe winds and large hail in an extremely rare tornado producing storm.
Kurnell in Sydney's south took the strongest winds at over 200km/h. The area has been declared a natural disaster zone.
Storm chaser, Daniel Shaw, tracked the tornado warned storm through Brighton Le Sands into Malabar.
Up to 2" hail struck and winds gusts around 100km/h.
Around 2hrs later, a second storm swept through the east.
Well, Daniel, I can see that you're not missing us too much here in the states as it seems you took some of our weather home with you. Thanks for sharing!! See you next year.
Awesome video. time lapse and sounds made it very real . good capture and thanks for posting. LIKED
I am in Sydney I did remember that i saw hail and rain and wind but no tornado * this was 3 years ago so don’t my stupidity
Same
Not me
But I heard little of the tornado
Just sayin
It was just the heavy wind btw
4:44 smart man
I’ve lived in Sydney all my life I’ve never seen a tornado....
They might be one in the future
I live in Sydney, and we have had 2 tornadoes, one tiny one in Hornsby, and one bigger one (F1-F2) in Turramurra 1991 that devastated the forests around the suburb and broke 1.5 foot width trees down and damaged 7000 homes. Theres also been a de roofer at Kurnell 2015, ua-cam.com/video/xdnqaIE4AM/v-deo.html
The Turramurra one: I lived in St.Ives. Mother worked at Ryde and called in a green storm.
I was standing inside at a plate glass window looking out back, and watched as the roof started steaming. Then the wind started as a small gust, then like a switch on a fan jumped to a higher velocity. This gust jump happened 6 or 7 times until the plate glass window was wobbling about an Inch and 1/2, when I went OK I'm not gonna be here.
Afterwards, we found Hail was backed 1 foot high against the wall 9 foot across from the slightly open window into my brothers room.
When we went out, All the liquid amber trees were cut in half (1 to 1.5 foot thick) ALL the leaves were off every tree with leaves, and the smell of ice pulped leaves smelt like very strong aftershave.
stumpy petros oh ok
I live in tornado alley I get them all the time :/
Great work Daniel. I'm glad you got to chase on home territory. I saw some of your footage on our Queensland Nine News. Well done.
I kind of find it humorous watching a man watering the golf course after a massive amount of rain.
Great video! Enjoy hearing you explain what is happening. Miss you here in the states, will watch for more Australian news from you.
daniel, we dont see many people put on their hazard lights in aus. yet in america all the time there were hazard lights blinking. any reason?
Daniel, you also mentioned the hail being the largest you had seen there. Is there historical data regarding large hail in Sydney?
+Stephen Williams I can tell you from experience that we had hail the size of tennis balls in the west of sydney in my area in 1992 ....caused $30000 worth of damage to my place .
+salvy36 Wow, I had no idea. I live in Texas (Daniel has been through here quite a bit) and we get really big hail at times here. Cool to know more about weather down there. Thanks!
Sydney gets these monster hailstorms from time to time, fortunately not too ofen. I had one at my place in January this year with 3.5cm (1.4 inch) hail. Sydney's worst hail storm swept up through the Eastern suburbs in April 1999, with confirmed reports of hailstones up to 9 cm in diameter (3.5"): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Sydney_hailstorm
salvy36 yeah mate I live in the west too I remeber
3:46 What a classic that guy doesn't care about the storm
When was this
How often would you say the Sydney area is affected by a strong tornado? (since 200 km/h is about an EF2)
+cmulkern100 It was my first tornado warned storm in Sydney or NSW for that matter... Very very rare.
+freenewsau Okay, I don't know how to ask this without sounding stupid, although my dad always said the only truly stupid question is the unasked one. I am from tornado alley (Northern Arkansas but now living in Germany)... so I am used to tornadoes..... I know they are rare in Australia, so what I want to know is.... like the water spins counter clock wise "down under" (compared to the US)... do tornadoes south of the equator also spin "the wrong way"... compared to US tornadoes. (I always forget if US tornadoes are clock wise or anti-clockwise)... but I think you get the gist of my question... I hope?
+LadyDragonsblood Yeah they do, tornadoes do spin in different directions based off whether they are in the northern/southern hemisphere
+cmulkern100 Start to get use to it!!! powers that be test run a few tornados at Dubbo NSW, Melbourne Victoria and Adelaide SA recently. Some in the same week! who would have guessed hey? Yeah they are rare when mother nature creates them.
+kayper54 It's not the same Kayper54. Over here they don't have the same frequency or ferocity. It isn't really a part of your life either, you don't plan for it, it doesn't impact your life like it would where you are. The one in Sydney is called "unprecedented" for a reason. Maybe this will start becoming the normal though, who knows?
Heat waves/bush fires are far more regular and kill way more people than anything storm related. In '09 there was a heatwave in Adelaide (South Australia) that killed 300-400 people in 2 weeks due to like 9 consecutive days of 40+ degree celsius temperature (which is like 105~+ fahrenheit) which sparks all sorts of bush fires.
It's hard to find details on deaths due to tornadoes in Australia (thunderstorms are often called the same thing), but it's less than 50 in over 100+ years.
2:29 - "GIVE WAY" says the sign, but in this case it's referring to the floodwater which vehicles need to avoid.
is it more dangerous to park somewhere or driving through storm?
Such BREATHTAKING footage!! I could watch your videos repeatedly for hours, those taken in the US as well as in Australia!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Sidney is so GORGEOUS; I've always wanted to go to Australia to explore the wildlife, but now I know such a trip would have to include a tour of beautiful Sidney!!
Incredible. Thanks for the upload! I hope there were no casualties.
I'm in Brisbane, and we got a Tornado at the airport last year I think. March 17, 2017.
Australia gets a lot of tornadoes, lol.
I live in Australia I've never experienced a tornado luckily
In America, storms are more frequent. In Australia, the storms make American storms look like rain in London. Down under weather kicks ass any day
On Jan 1st 1947 a freak storm hit Sydney, tossing down hail stones that weighed up to 2.5 kilo and over 300 people were hospitalized - a lot of animals were also killed. So if it happened then it can certainly happen again!
When that happened
That was pretty severe, Daniel. I live in La Perouse. We absolutely copped it. I feel sorry for the folks on the other side of Botany Bay in Kurnell. Very bad storm indeed.
I hear maroubra copped it hard too!
I hope you are all well and safe! Nice footage...tornadoes are quite common here where I live and we are practiced at taking shelter when things are getting dicey. Do you have severe storm drills there in Sydney? I saw a lot of people running around outside, which is also common here, even though we know not to do it, LOL! Wanted to let you know your city is beautiful and I'd love to visit there someday. Thanks for sharing with us!
Why is that guy watering the gold course when a tornado is about to hit?
Why are they saying inches when we are in Australia 🤣😂
Mysha The Puppy Unicorn
They always use inches for rain and hail, never knew?
BLUEX chill it’s just a joke
Good question Mysha
I looked up bom.com.au (bureau of meterology) and found they use :
"Observing instruments. The standard Bureau instrument for the manual measurement of rainfall is the 203 mm (8 inch) rain gauge"
So yeah, it must be a standard..
AAh I think I know. the charts they use for wind direction etc, need a small number as possible so they can make the charts small but readable..
8 is easier than 203 I guess.
stumpy petros Thanks for telling me I guess 8 is easier than 203 anyways
Mysha The Puppy Unicorn I’m not being mad.
I am confused but does that mean Australia does have tornadoes n the nsw
Anywhere in Australia can have tornadoes.
What’s with the measurements in inches?!
i am lucky i wasnt in Kurnell but was this actually a tornado... i never saw it on the news only very bad winds..
Whens the tornado
We don't have tornados do we? I did not know lol well stay safe
I have been in a very bad tornado. Tuscaloosa EF5 tornado on a spring day. April 27, 2011. Here's a link to a video m.ua-cam.com/video/TIx26tN6pCk/v-deo.html
Thats what i thought
We get tornadoes, they are extremely rare though.
We don't
@@youtubezlnxy2.044 We do, actually. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Southern_Hemisphere_tornadoes_and_tornado_outbreaks#Australia
4:09 is that the tornado
Where's the tornado?😕
What was flaming under the hood at 2:03. Flames & black smoke, did not look good!
the headlight
I live 6 hours out of Sydney my uncle and his boyfriend live there I never heard one word about no tornado
beautiful shelf cloud and two well defined wall clouds in the wide few out of the city
I live in NSW but Ive never seen any tornadoes but lucky that was in 2015 but i seen bush fires on TV
Or gust a straight wind or microburst or probley a derrecho or other sort
I was at school when you this happened. Wow I only heard storm and a sprinkle of rain.
Great video.
i am only 13 but my home town beechworth near albury wodonga had a tornado in the late 80's apparently
Bruhhhhh how come I live 8 hours away from Sydney and we never heard about this
just can't get away from tornadoes.....i hope your mom is doing fine ........hope to follow you this spring again.
I live in melbourne Australia dude i haven't seen this much strong storms bro
Are you sure EF2 is 50-100 kmh EF5 is 150-200 kmh
+T Honeysett Are you sure? EF2 is 178-217km/h. EF5 is 322km/h+.
I'm soo glad I wasn't in Sydney then😭
I was here and i fucking hated this event
ever since this happend ive been always scared of storms
i was 3 4 around the time when this happend!
This is becoming a regular thing in NSW AUS I wouldn't be surprised if we got a hurricane right after this.
Ok let's put this straight we haven't had a tornado in the past 4 years
nice footage
Corelis effect amazes me
Reminds me of some of the scenes from 'The Last Wave'.
I would love to live there.
Damn thats scary weather :) stay safe
I somehow saw a tornado forming once up in Mary borough out on sea, It was just forming though so that's lucky for me
You do realise buddy, that a tornado and storm are different.
It's was a sever super cell or it could be a mesocyclone
We don't have tornados, And that is very rare.
The hail was like snow in my backyard
I think I was only 9 years old when this storm hit
I live in Brisbane Redland bay and I never seen a tornado ive seen hail storms heavy rain
It has flash flooding too
I think that’s a hurricane not a tornado.
this aint a tornado. Whut.
Pierre Thinh tornados dont appear in sydney its 99.99.68 % impossible or u can just say complete ULTRA ULTRA RARE or just say impossible
Sydney super Storm?
i didn't know they used "inches" in OZ
Depends on what we're measuring.
hi! I meant I thought Oz used base-10 metres, etc.
+Erik Charles We do, now, but those of us who were at school in the 1950s, as I was, were taught the imperial system, inches, feet, miles etc, so we tend to think in imperial rather than metric.
yea, same here lol, still trying to wrap my head around the metric system in envisioning a KM vs. a Mile... etc
Daniel is quoting hail measurement in inches out of habit, as he normally storm chases only in the US, and adapts his terminology for a North American audience.
I remember this storm...
My brother was home exactly when that happened!! And my chickens and dog was outside when the whole thing happened, i was at holiday care at my school and I didn’t know what was happing I started crying with my friends and I was so scared that I thought I was going to die my friend said “ if your house gets hit you can stay with me! She lived further away so it was going to be safer. After it hit, my dad came and picked me up with my younger brother, my mum was at work in the city, when my dad tried to get to my brother we couldn’t we got my neighbor to knock on out door but no one had answered I think since my brother couldn’t here it because it was raining loud! My trampoline had been tipped over and my brother found her under it, my chickens were all in their coop but my neighbors cat we didn’t know if it was alright because it always runs off onto the streets. When it came back they were really happy but they had to take it to the vet because it came back with a big cut in its left ear! I still had to go to gymnastics and I told everybody what happened but only my best friend believed me that it was true! No one really liked me only she did. We got the newspaper a week later and it was so close to Christmas I saw a photo and it had a chimney and all the walls crushed and Santa was in his sled floating, he said where’s the house? I got so mad because a lot of people houses got ruined my mum sent an email in saying that I wasn’t happy to see that they did that I was only 8 so it wasn’t a good experience. Luckily my house didn’t get damaged but a friend of mine that lived in the waterfronts her house was gone, someone else’s roof was on theirs and it was just horrible!! I’m so thankful that I didn’t get hit. But most importantly my other neighbour she was old and I’m glad that she was okay!! 🙏🙏🙏
Sorry when my trampoline tipped over my dog was under it
Worst storm happening 4:09 pm Tuesday 20 November. OMG
And what I did was I was at school and as the storm hit I hid under the teachers table because I felt safe under there
I live in Sydney almost where the it hit it's not a lye my dad almost crashed cause he was the captain of a flight coming into Sydney
I know my whole street had hail water leaves and fallen trees.i thought I was going to die when there was a blackout for 42 hours it is at Kurnell
I was so scared😫👨✈️💧💧💧💦☔️❄️🌪🌧🌧🌧🛫🛬
I didn't know Sydney ever got hail like that! Looks like another, ordinary April hailstorm here in USA... 😧
Funny you say that. Sydney had copped the worst hailstorm in Australian history on April 14th 1999. Dropped 500,000 tons of hail, 2.3 billon dollars in damages.
@@billykokkinidis 2.3 G$ in damage!? Those weren't small hailstones... Did you see green clouds?
Large parts of Australia experiences massive supercells a fair bit, but only a handful of those produce tornadoes
I could NOT see any tornado in this video , very deceptive and disappointing.
It’s like a hurricane in sydney
My friend Oscar told me that a tornado 🌪 blew his house roof off and his chickens were killed
We have no tornados here in straya but only cyclones
Explain the 7 tornadoes that knocked out all of South Australia’s power back on the 28th of September 2016 then. ;D
Aren’t you just the most intelligent wankstain ever
where I was we only got heavy rain
I was on the east the east had a cyclone
I was forced to stay in my school gym on the last day of school!
gee that's some tornado :0/
The second storm u we’re watching it from Vaucluse
It's a small flood basically
Me to it’s really a cyclone bruh
Lucky they had the flags on the beach so everyone knew where it was safe to swim.
If someone’s american please close this video this for Australians only thank you
Hehe, I loved that storm, because it's just so rare, well for me it is.
Cyclone NOT torndao
Click bait. I didn't see a tornado.
Don't you mean hurricane we don't get tornadoes
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Southern_Hemisphere_tornadoes_and_tornado_outbreaks#Australia
sorry to greak it to ya but that didnt happen in sydney
We don’t get tornados here so it’s not one
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Southern_Hemisphere_tornadoes_and_tornado_outbreaks#Australia Sorry, didn’t hear you there. Could you speak up?
there was NO TORNADO IT WAS JUST NORMAL STORM THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE BUT ..... WITH HAIL NO TORNADO ...but still good vid ...bye
There was a tornado lmfao, you didn’t see it cause it’s rain wrapped.
Looks like a good day to wear a helmet.
I live in sydney and we never get tornadoes
I was at work in the truck at botany as this storm approached the inflow tail was that of which I've only otherwise seen chasing in tornado alley. Also according to the BoM radar at the time it looked very similar on radar... while I haven't seen any Photogenic shots of it I still believe it was a tornado. There are also drone videos of the aftermath and damage path. Just because you don't see a funnel cloud doesn't mean it wasn't a tornado.
I live in Kurnell and lost my roof to that storm. If it wasnt a tornado Id like to know how my roof was found in three different directions.
@@petermountain4313 try telling that to these bogan internet warriors who think they know everything lol
lol we do get tornadoes... Just media tend to call them "mini Tornadoes" to downplay it and rare compared to USA we get about average apparently 10-20 to their 1200-1500 yearly. If your interested and do the research, you'll find videos (Mulwala tornado 2013) (Cooma Tornado 2010) and (Bathurst Tornado 2013) to name a few. Alas but closest I've come to getting the magic Aussie tornado shot was a rotating wall cloud on a supercell in Echuca/Moama 2015 which was absolutely gorgeous and now is decorative canvas on my wall at home 😃
♥️ it
tornado? omg!
I don’t think it happends
Poor straya
JUST HAPPENED AGAIN
An I had this hurricane
I was in my house
IT WAS A CYCLONE.....GEEZZZZZZZZ
