A tornado goes into a lake and scoops up a bunch of fish and then they get dropped further away. I heard about this before.

Yes, they are sucked up by a tornado. When the tornado suddenly dissipates/dies out everything it sucked up is dropped to the ground this is how we get things like small fish, frogs, etc raining from above. A tornado over water of course is a waterspout as it merely sucks a huge column of water and whatever is in it into the air.
And, yes, they do have tornados in Australia. It's just that they don't last very long and the country is so sparsely populated that most folks won't see one. They happen just about everywhere in the world actually but nobody gets them as big and mean as in central and S.W. USA.

I HAVE SEEN THIS FIRST HAND TOO
Two years ago in Australia when I was on holiday...awesome things...
A mini tornado (the Australians I were with called it a water spout but they say it is just a slower version of a Tornado that is over water) happened a about two miles away (close enough for us to be really scared it was coming to us)...it danced over the lake but too far away for us to see what was happening...
It stopped and disappread quite slowely upwards, but about 45 seconds later lots of small fish started raining down on us...it was really funny but my girlfriend at the time got scared because she thought it may have sucked up a shark too. She thought a shark would be very annoyed if it got thrown on to land and she ran away inside....
There were lots of bits of water vegatation and little snail and things coming down as well...VERY COOL

Fish can be picked up by a tornado as it crosses water (a water spout) and then after the tornado dissipates, the fish fall to the ground with the rest of the rain.

I HAVE SEEN THIS FIRST HAND
when i was in high school, it rained fish in Brassle, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, about 50 km inland
a water spout picked up a school of fingerlings feeding at the surface and carried them and the water to us.
Cool

In that they explianed it as well
As far as i can remember (I am not sure), when it rains and the winds are blowing, some small (light) fish blow with them and when they drop somewhere else, it seems like the clouds is raining fish

When they say that they are usually refering to jumping fish that usually jump out of the water as its raining.

A waterspout (tornado over water) sucks fish into its vortex and, later, drops them over land.

A waterspout (a tornado over water) sucked them up and dropped them elsewhere.
