‘Mini tornado’ spotted over Brisbane River in Queensland

Queensland residents captured on video what many believed to be a ‘mini tornado’ blowing across the Brisbane River on November 1.

It came as a large supercell storm cloud crossed the city during the afternoon bringing intense rain and large hail. Severe weather warnings were issued in the area.

The strong winds which accompanied the storm cloud began to swirl above the Brisbane River at Kangaroo Point, causing a short-lived waterspout, the name for a tornado over a body of water.
