    Dramatic footage filmed from a helicopter by Australia's Channel 7 shows a series of powerful waterspouts near the coastal suburb of Terrigal, on Australia's New South Wales coast. Several powerful columns of swirling air could be seen blasting along the water's surface near the coastline. Channel 7 claimed the spouts reached heights of up to 600 metres (nearly two thousand feet), but dissipated as they neared land. The natural wonders came as strong winds and heavy rain also lashed other parts of the state, causing flash flooding and traffic chaos in Sydney.

    Storm chasers video of Tornado smashing all on its way in Oklahoma



    The ferocious power of one of the devastating tornadoes that struck the US state of Oklahoma on Tuesday was captured on camera by so-called "storm chasers", who followed the twister as it left a trail of devastation in its wake. The tornado is seen churning through the Chickasha area, 25 miles (40 kilometres) southwest of Oklahoma City. Officials said a 26-year-old woman died when the twister hit a mobile home park where residents had been asked to leave. A dozen people were injured and hundreds were displaced in the area, they added. That twister was just one of the many tornadoes that struck Oklahoma and also the states of Arkansas and Kansas on Tuesday, killing at least 15 people. Those powerful storms came two days after the nation's deadliest single tornado since 1950 killed at least 125 people on Sunday in Joplin in southwest Missouri.
