Talk:Severe storms in Australia

message: Seriously, can't anyone clean this messy article up? Why are there random capital letters in words, wrongly spelt words, and even a bloody exclamation mark?

text: Sure it's possible - I just spent 5 weeks out of 6 being rained on in QLD. However, I did remove the sentance you've referred to because I couldn't find a citation for it. While it was definately true the region experienced a record number of storms for the month of February (and correctly between Dec 2006 and Feb 2007), twas more like 14 or 16 thunderstorms in Feb - well above the avg of 3 for the period. Certainly the 31 Dec storm was the third in 3 days - but over the two month period the storms did not appear to be "nearly daily" (even though it may have felt that way for residents in the area!).--PoizonMyst (talk) 13:18, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Was this article written by an eight year-old?

message: I've added a section to Queensland about the severe storms that hit Brisbane starting on the 16th. Being here is the source of most of my first hand knowledge, however I tried to include sources for any specific facts used. If someone wants to clean it up, that would be great!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gentoo user (talk • contribs) 13:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  November 2008 Storms 

message: I did a bit of a cleanup, added citations (and fixed some dead links), added a bit of extra infos here and there, and updated/verified old infos. Oh, and I reordered ACT because it was all over the place - so in line with article format, earliest to latest events. Still working on the article, but it's starting to get late now, and this was not exactly where I had planned to go with my day either.  So far I've worked extensively on ACT and QLD - with a little bit of work on NSW. Any help on the article would be gratefully accepted.  In addition, I'm not sure that I'm doing the citations correctly - for example when I have to link to the same website/article twice or more - so if anyone feels compelled to check please go ahead.
Australian Capital Territory
"Two hundred houses were damaged by a severe storm in 2001." (Removed this while I'm still trying to find ANY reference to it - If someone can link to a citation for this storm then feel free to return the sentance to the article - it should be placed before the ACT Feb 2007 supercell)
Mite look to referencing this storm instead at the same place in the article: Event - Storms: South east Australia 27 Oct 2004

thread_title:  Made some updates and clean-ups 

message: This article has turned into a glorified list.  Shouldn't we also have some context such as what conditions and other hows and whys that lead to their formation in Australia?  How about a comparison of the severity with other large countries?  Statements about annual economic loss, insurance and climate change should probably be included.  Alternately we could omit that from this page and instead use Climate of Australia. - Shiftchange (talk) 22:52, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  List or not? 

message: There are no sections for either South Australia or Tasmania. Both states have had a fair share of storms over the years. 58.166.244.49 (talk) 11:14, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, according to the Bureau of Meterology's Severe Storms Archives, there have been 2777 severe storms in Australia with:
*0 in the ACT (I guess they don't measure the ones inside Parliament House)
*26 in Tasmania
*129 in Northern Territory
*297 in South Australia
*480 in Queensland
*494 in Victoria
*539 in Western Australia
*781 in New South Wales
If anyone is interested in the cause of the severe storms:
* 1270 due to rain
* 935 due to wind
* 405 due to hail
* 126 due to tornadoes
* 27 due to waterspout
* 4 due to dust devils
* 10 due to lightning
Curiously no problem with cyclones, which I assume must be classified as rain or wind. Kerry (talk) 06:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

text: Well, there's been a severe storm in the ACT now! 20 January 2020 Canberra storm. I added to this page , and also , as the same storm also hit several regions in NSW. I wonder if it's worth a stand alone page, same for the current extensive heavy wind & rain down the East coast of Oz, 2020 Eastern Australian storms perhaps? 220 of Borg 13:31, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
