A stunning video shows a waterspout forming over the Brisbane River on November 1, coinciding with severe weather conditions affecting the area.

On November 1, locals in Queensland captured footage of what appeared to be a waterspout twisting over the Brisbane River, believed to be a mini tornado. This event occurred as a formidable supercell storm cloud moved through the city in the afternoon, bringing with it heavy rainfall and substantial hail. In response to the hazardous weather, severe storm warnings were issued for the region. The swirling winds produced by the approaching storm created the waterspout, which was observed in the vicinity of Kangaroo Point, though it remained short-lived. The occurrence exemplifies the volatile nature of severe weather phenomena and their impact on urban areas.
