I know what your … I know what your saying mate, I live in THE GAP and when the eye of that TORNADO hit our suburb it was unlike anything, anywhere in the world. Trees were being pulled out of the ground and dumped everywhere, neighbours rooves where landing in our house, windows were being smashed and the sound was UNBELIEVABLE!!. Def. nothing MINI about that
Don’t open a vien … Don’t open a vien over it mate! Mini tornado is just a term often used these days in colloquial language to describe powerful thunder storms in Australia. The media love it, the general public have adopted it, right or wrong it’s here to stay.
mini my ing … mini my ing , that storm had the same power as a USA F3 Tornado!
I get ted off everytime someones calls a damaging storm here a MINI - TORNADO when infact it actually is one. Its people poorly educated like you who dont believe we can get the real deal here in Australia that need to be educated who are giving the wrong info.
Pure, distilled … Pure, distilled water won’t conduct electricity, but I highly doubt that water is pure, distilled water - rain is actually slightly acidic from natural carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, so it would definitely conduct electricity.
Are you ing … Are you ing retarded? Why don’t you go fill up the bath tub and I’ll throw a plugged in hair dryer in to test your theory out there…jackass
