Sydney Morning Herald Photographer Nick Moir sent me this Youtube link of the Canberra fire tornado from 18th January 2003. Nick Moir had suggested for years based on evidence and the final bushfire report that there was a very strong tornado in the fire! This Youtube video proves it! Incredible!
Yeah , your having a bad day when you have to face a tornado then a raging bushfire , not to mention that the tornado is probably a oxygen injected blast furnace
