Australia has fast overtaken other countries as the destination of choice for students from Commonwealth Countries like South Africa and Canada who want to work and/or study overseas. Ten years ago, it had become the norm for young adults to leave the country for the UK as soon as they had completed their final year at senior high school. There, they would pluck chickens, tend bar or peel potatoes while experiencing life in the UK and Europe.

Why study English in Australia?

Australia has an international reputation for its high standard of teaching, along with relatively low living and tuition costs. Added to this are the benefits of living on a large island continent that offers an immense and diverse selection of fascinating locations to visit.

There are many reasons why someone may wish to study the English language. Some need to improve their English for work or career purposes, while others may have a personal interest in becoming fluent in English, or because they intend to travel. Others may want to continue their education in English, either in Australia or elsewhere, and must reach specified English entry standards.

This is a video of the worse tornadoes in the eastern part of the United States, appropriately called "Eastern Fury". The eastern US experience more tornadoes at a greater frequency than any other part of the country. Despite this fact many people still fall to nature's fury every year. Could it be that warning systems don't send their warnings early enough? Or are the people too stubborn to move away? Or do they think the tornadoes won't hit them? In any case, whenever there's a tornado warning people should really get moving right away. If you think the warning systems aren't fast enough for you, you can always check the whether yourself.

Stormchasers: In the Middle of a Hurricane

This is a clip from a Firstscience.TV documentary called "Stormchasers: In the Middle of a Hurricane". It gives a bit of an insight on what goes on in the minds of people who go after storms, and why they enjoy doing it. It also features some great hurricane shots, mainly featuring Tropical Storm Barry in Florida. The height of Barry's strength was 80 mph gusts, and its winds were only at 65 mph but it's more than enough to make anyone feel unsafe--just look at how it rocked that minivan! This kind of thrill however is what motivates storm chasers and gives them their rush. For more information on weather, weather news, and weather forecasts, visit www.MyWeatherLive.com.

Lightning Strikes an Airplane

They say that the airplane is the safest mode of transportation. This video just truly proves it. What do you think happens when more common vehicles like cars are struck by lightning? Even if the car itself survives, there's a high possibility that its passengers would be fried. However, watch this airplane get struck by lightning. It doesn't even flinch! In fact, every commercial airplane is struck by lightning at least once a year. And yet there have been no reported lightning-related airplane incidents. Airplanes are built to withstand this kind of weather force. So they truly are the safest means to travel. However, it's still wise to not travel at all during violent storms.

Dust Devil in Japan Interrupts Soccer Game

Dust devils are tornado-like formations of wind which are usually harmless and small, but the one in this video is fairly strong and taller than usual. This happened in a schoolyard in Japan where children are playing soccer. Then all of a sudden the dust devil appears that, apart from ruining their game, also sucked up a tent and threw it 30 meters across before dissipating. The students and teachers ducked when the dust devil approached them, which isn't really the best thing to do. At least the children seemed like they were having more fun!
