'Unique' weather patterns cause havoc across Australia


Severe weather fronts are lashing several regions of Australia, with a man dying after being swept away by floodwaters in Queensland and a "mini-tornado" destroying several homes in New South Wales.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said a unique set of weather patterns were responsible for the nation-wide wet weather event, not expected to be repeated anytime soon.

"It's quite unusual to see this sort of pattern develop right across that broad section of states," BoM meteorologist Craig Burke told the ABC.
