Printing Video: Australian Tornado Waterspout near Sydney

I had to post this; I love Australia, have been there many times in recent years, and still consider it to be a second home... it caught my attention that lately they've had big storms, rain and severe flooding....and now add freak tornadoes and waterspouts, not unlike what we're getting across the United States as well.

SYDNEY-- Four colossal waterspouts swirled around off the coast of Sydney today amid dramatic thunderstorms.
The gigantic twisters - created when tornadoes form above the sea -- occurred near Avoca Beach, which lies just to the north of Australia's capital.
The amazing natural phenomena caused a huge stir with locals, some of whom had lived in the area for over 50 years and never seen one....
