Discovery of a tornado: Incredible scars at the Nullarbor level!

Nullarbor-Ebene, Australien - A sensational find at the Australian nullarbor level: The Slovenian geoscientist Matej Lipar discovered an amazing "scar" of 11 kilometers length and up to 250 meters width, which the landscape passed through. This striking track is the result of a tornado that raged in the period from November 16 to 18, 2022, while a heavy cold front and heavy rainfall caught the region. This discovery is documented in the journal Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, such as Vol.at reported.

The trail in the ground, which was identified as "cycloidal brands", suggests that the tornado of categories F2 to F3 can be assigned, with wind speeds of over 200 km/h. This is remarkable because the region is known for its low vegetation, which means that such traces remain visible for a long time. In fact, despite the mishap that no destructive damage to populated areas, the scientists were able to gain valuable knowledge about the dynamics of Tornados. The signs indicate that the tornado whirled clockwise and probably lasted between seven and 13 minutes, which leaves a deep impression of the power of nature.

In addition, the find was made by a cave diver who searched for caves using Google Earth. This discovery underlines the importance of modern technologies in research into extreme weather, such as Live Science found. The results of these examinations are crucial for future weather forecasts and preparations for similar events. Another interesting detail is that the three previously documented tornados in this region also took place in November, which indicates a pattern. Despite the seclusion of the Nullarbor level, this could indicate that the weather has the same unpredictability there, which is also observed in other parts of the country.
