The Bureau of Meteorology's database records 364 tornadoes across NSW from 1795 to June 2003.

Tornadoes are thought to be formed by the interaction between regions of strong updrafts and downdrafts of air within severe thunderstorm clouds.

Tornadoes are ranked using the Fujita F-scale which estimates wind speed based on the extent and severity of damage.
