Tornado NSW Australia EDIS CODE: TO-20131123-41739-AUS Date & Time: 2013-11-23 09:31:56 [UTC] Area: Australia, State of New South Wales, , Lismore Theyve spotted the odd tornado in the United States, but a pair of Lismore storm chasers had never seen a cloud putting down a tube in their own backyard until today (Saturday). For Jason Paterson and Michael Bath, the dramatic tornado that hit the skies above the small Northern Tablelands village of Ben Lomond on Saturday afternoon was a once in a lifetime weather event. The tornado, which the men filmed from nearby Glencoe, dropped from beneath a rapidly rotating wall cloud shortly after 4 pm. The sighting came as the Bureau of Meteorology warned severe thunderstorms could produce more tornadoes, destructive winds, large hail stones and heavy rains which could lead to flash flooding in the region. Areas set to be affected included Tenterfield, Inverell, Armidale, Glen Innes, Tamworth and Moree. Mr Paterson said he had seen similar tornadoes during trips to Texas, Kansas and Nebraska in the United States, but never in Australia.
