Tornado Brisbane

In recent years, Brisbane has seen an increase in the number of tornadoes forming within the city. In fact, in the past decade, there have been over a dozen tornadoes confirmed within the urban area, with more suspected to have occurred but have gone unreported. As tornadoes have the ability to strike quickly and cause significant damage, the increased frequency of these events is a cause for concern and should be taken seriously by residents and authorities alike.

• Be aware of the signs of a tornado. These can include a rotating funnel cloud, a loud roaring noise, and debris flying through the air.
• If you see a tornado, take shelter immediately. The best place to shelter is in a sturdy building, underground, or in a ditch. Lie down flat and cover your head with your hands.
• After a tornado has passed, be aware of the hazards. These can include downed power lines, broken glass, and damaged buildings.

Tornadoes can be a dangerous and destructive force, but by being prepared and taking the necessary precautions, you can help to reduce your risk of injury and damage.

Here are some additional tips for staying safe during a tornado:

• Stay informed about the weather forecast. If there is a tornado watch or warning in your area, listen to the radio or television for updates and instructions.
• Have a plan for where you will go if a tornado warning is issued. Your plan should include a safe place to shelter, such as a basement or interior room, and a way to communicate with family members.
• Secure your home and property. Bring in outdoor furniture and other loose objects that could be blown away by the wind. Close all windows and doors.
• Be prepared to evacuate if necessary. If you are told to evacuate, do so immediately.

By following these tips, you can help to stay safe during a tornado.
