Incredible footage shows tornado blowing over the Brisbane Airport

Incredible footage has emerged of a massive 'tornado' tearing through Brisbane airport.
Vision of the dramatic scenes flooded social media on Friday afternoon as the 'twister' was spotted hovering near Brisbane Airport.
First seen in Clontarf, the funnel cloud was seen moving south as residents took out their smartphones to snap the cloud as it appeared over Viola Place at around 2pm.Higgins Storm Chasing first posted the footage to Facebook calling the swirl a 'tornado' however other users were quick to describe the event as a 'willy willy' or 'dust devil'.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Jim Richardson says that the tornado was most likely a landspout.
'We can't officially confirm it, but we do have unconfirmed reports indicating that there was a landspout near the Airport, southeast of DFO,' Mr Richardson told MyGC.
'This is due to pretty moist low levels, unstable environments and airmass boundaries sort of colliding ... creating this very localised, very short-lived activity.'
After issuing a warning at 3.30pm for storm activity that could hit Brisbane's CBD, the bureau downgraded the warning by 4.18 stating that severe thunderstorms were no longer affecting the southeast Queensland area.
The warnings come on top of well-above-average temperatures for Brisbane in March.
Temperature reached as high as 35.7C at 1.21pm which is almost 8C above the state's average for March.
It comes only days after wild weather hit the country's east-coast, with torrential rain and hail storms the size of golf-balls seen across Queensland and New South Wales.
