Why do tornadoes in Australia have less notoriety than their US counterparts?
It is a matter of intensity. Not only are tornadoes not as common in Australia, but they are generally not as strong. The strength of tornadoes is rated on the Fujita scale, which has six categories, ranging from F0 for the weakest tornadoes to F5 for the strongest. Australia rarely gets tornadoes stronger than F2. Such tornadoes can cause fairly significant damage, but don't wipe out entire neighbourhoods and rarely kill. By contrast, the United States usually gets at least several F4 tornadoes every year and gets F5 tornadoes every few years. These are the tornadoes that cause the catastrophic damage that makes national and international news.
