I sent some of the emails on this topic to my brother Phil in Hong Kong, as I know he has seen several tornadoes, and our mother lives near Rochester. I think some of you may be interested to read his response. Carl. From: phil at drdisk.com.hk (drdisk.com.hk - Phil Smith) To: "Carl Smith" Subject: Re: aus-wx: Family sucked from home by tornado Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2000 11:00:46 +0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4029.2901 Sounds like an exciting event. Why has the word "tornado" seemed to become a "no-no" in Australia over the last 25 years or so? Of course I cannot remember the tornado which demolished the house where I slept when I was a few months old in 1946. I slept through it and when Grandpa and Mormor came out fearing I had been blown away, the walls, ceiling, roof and every stick of furniture had utterly vanished and the only thing still located on the concrete floor was my pram complete with the mosquito net still over it and me still asleep inside. However I have witnessed many in Victoria, one of which was described in detail in at http://www.drdisk.com.hk/tornado.htm , "The Tornado at Tom's Bridge". In 1964 I saw three in one day which didn't appear to touch down at Traralgon, and I have seen others around the Latrobe Valley. Perhaps the most spectacular one crossed the Yallourn Open Cut coal mine in about '72 or '73. It sucked up vast quantities of coal-dust and has to be the blackest, solidest and most evil-looking one I ever saw. I was many kilometres away at the time on a hill at Hazelwood overlooking the Latrobe Valley. Actually I had always been led to believe that Australia had more tornados than the US, but because of our sparsely-spread population and great care taken to avoid building in "willy-willy strips", they seldom wrought the kind of havoc that we read about in the US. I do also recall that old Nanna King (born about 1845 or 1850 and 109 when she died) used to tell me that when the towns of Western Victoria were being first settled the aboriginal people of the area would advise the "white-fellas" where to place the towns and settlements so the "willy-willy" wouldn't get them. They must have known something we don't, because the tornados would always go through the strips where they had said nobody should live. I never saw one in those primary-school days but would hear about them at school the next day. The farmers who lived nearest would report that the willy-willy (as we called tornadoes in those days) had gone straight through each of the paddocks where the old-timers had always said that the 'black-fellas" had said nothing should ever be built and no cattle or sheep ought to be penned there. I reckon they knew more about meteorology, at least where tornados are concerned, back then than we do today.

From recollection, someone commented on getting temperature variations ~3 or 4C over the length of their driveway! Have a look at the figures below from the sonde ascent at Invercargill at 12z last night. Surface temperature (1 metre a.s.l.) was 3.6C with 98% humidity and a 4kt NE wind. At 89 metres, temp was 13.6C with 47% humidity and 9kt NNE wind. The airport at Invercargill is situated just west of town, on a coastal plain right beside an inlet from Foveaux Strait, 8km away. Interestingly, NZ South Island was not under a high pressure system, but an occluding front was moving away to the east and a moderate N to NW stream covered the area. Presumably, the hills to the N and NW of Invercargill helped shelter the area and maintain this inversion. I don't think it's anything out of the usual, but it does help to illustrate how you can get very different night time or minimum temperatures over very short distances. >Searching the city database file for: NZNV ... >Date:1200Z 23 JUN 00 >Station: NZNV >WMO ident: 93844 >Latitude: -46.42 >Longitude: 168.33 >Elevation: 1.00 >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >LEV PRES HGHT TEMP DEWP RH DD WETB DIR SPD THETA THE-V THE-W THE-E W > mb m C C % C C deg knt K K K K g/kg >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >SFC 1017 1 3.6 3.3 98 0.3 3.5 40 4 275.4 276.2 275.7 288.3 4.77 > 1 1013 33 7.0 0.0 61 7.0 3.9 33 6 279.1 279.8 276.5 289.6 3.77 > 2 1006 89 13.6 2.6 47 11.0 8.1 21 9 286.3 287.1 281.0 299.3 4.58 > 3 1001 131 14.2 1.2 41 13.0 7.9 12 11 287.3 288.0 281.0 299.2 4.16 > 4 1000 139 14.0 1.0 41 13.0 7.7 10 12 287.1 287.9 280.8 298.9 4.11 > 5 947 596 11.6 -1.4 40 13.0 5.6 326 14 289.2 289.9 281.2 299.8 3.64 > 6 925 792 9.8 -2.2 43 12.0 4.4 325 12 289.3 289.9 281.1 299.5 3.51 > 7 850 1486 3.4 -4.6 56 8.0 0.1 320 22 289.7 290.3 280.9 299.0 3.19 > 8 831 1669 1.6 -5.4 60 7.0 -1.2 319 25 289.7 290.2 280.7 298.7 3.07 > 9 794 2034 -1.1 -9.1 55 8.0 -4.0 316 32 290.6 291.0 280.3 297.8 2.41 -- Laurier Williams Australian Weather News & Links http://ausweather.simplenet.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Michael Thompson" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: You Lucky SE Australians Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 10:48:09 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2014.211 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com For coastal New South Wales the boredom continues John.

Being aware that many straight but severe down draughts are often in correctly tagged as such, a mini tornado is - after all a small tornado. As far as I can ascertain from the media reports that what happened in Fairy Dell last Thursday, it was a small - by most standards - tornado so maybe a mini tornado is a correct title on this occasion but hardly a sufficient difference to get worked up about.

Not that we shouldn't stop trying. The most important focus however should be on public awareness of Australia getting tornadoes and hence being prepared for such. I am a little worried though that the incorrect terminology may affect this awareness. It is great to see that the Media are starting to put this onto their agenda. I had an e-mail from the ABC obviously wanting some information and interview about tornadoes in Australia etc etc. I wasn't available and read the e-mail late at night...
