"Earlier this year, a caver was poring over satellite images of the Nullarbor
Plain when he came across something unexpected: an enormous, mysterious scar
etched into the barren landscape.
The find intrigued scientists, including my colleagues and I. Upon closer
investigation, we realised the scar was created by a ferocious tornado that
no-one knew had occurred. We outline the findings in new research published
today.
Tornadoes are a known threat in the United States and elsewhere. But they also
happen in Australia.
Without the power of technology, this remarkable example of nature’s ferocity
would have gone unnoticed. It’s important to study the tornado’s aftermath to
help us predict and prepare for the next big twister."
