Thunderstorms live on this webcam in Mierlo-Hout, Netherlands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zayYX5VHGzg

Keen to know about this Manchester supercell you mentioned if you have any info!

Got a top two of storms, neither I can decide between:- 13th September 2016 in Wilmslow - Came out of work after a horrifically humid day, when you knew it was a case of when, and not if, it cracks off, and had been watching huge storms develop up out of the Midlands and coming this way. Leaving work it was dark and the whole way to the South was so incredibly dark, it genuinely looked like storm chasing in the states. The sky also had that smoothed look across the front like a supercell in the states can do sometimes. Needless to say a mile or two from work and the heavens opened, you could see trees disappear into the wall of water coming my way. Lightning started appearing too, and rather than what I usually see in the UK, with C-C and I-C, this seemed to be aggressively pelting the ground with pink C-G's and a stroke would pulse and last for long enough to focus on it. Torrential rain and thunder and lightning for around 2 hours as it passed off over the Pennines, even got a chase out of it in the car. Lots of flooding and debris afterwards. Tempted to say this was around 20-22 July 2006 in Rugby, Warwickshire - Away for a day but as I was only 15 and still kind of scared of storms, I stayed away from this. Remember it being a very hot and sultry day with no breeze, and then it clouded over, before starting to rain and then thunder. I remember looking out the window and the edge of the storm I saw racing overhead from the right towards the left, which is when the torrential rain started to fall with lots of thunder and lightning. I'm assuming now, with 15 years more obsessing over severe weather it was some sort of gust front or shelf cloud racing over on the front of the storm, but there was a massive downdraft, tall thin trees were bending to 45° during the initial downburst. Again, an hour or so of thunder and lightning afterwards and still a little muggy. The year could be wrong here, but 2006 or earlier and definitely July. Mike.

As much as it pains me to not have been out, I think it was the right year to miss. Fingers crossed 2021 has a kick ass May!

Several tornado warnings including confirmed tornadoes across IL this evening, with the 10% Enhanced Risk up there. Also not sure if it's real or not, but have seen reports on Twitter from the supercell near Burkburnett, TX last night that there was around an 8 inch hail stone that came through someones roof? Have seen the picture and the hole it left, not sure if 8 inches is possible, but there were certainly some 5"+ hail reports last night in that area. Grapefruits? Bigger? Mike.

A couple of my videos from last night of what could be seen from Macclesfield over the hills towards Wincle/Leek/Buxton. Mike.

Some pictures from before of the Stoke to Buxton storm. Almost looked like a supercell but suspect its thr angle!

Been watching lightning ping on and off over the Pennines for the last hour or so now with some good distant thunder. Quite a few C-G bolts, bright purple and lots of clear C-C bolts. Video to follow.

White cone tornado on stream about 30 minutes ago near Dougherty, OK.

My days, I really hope something is off here.

Ya'know! That storm North of Hattiesburg, MS looks monstrous in terms of hook and velocities. Hope it isn't down if it's that big!

Brett Adair, just intercepted a rain wrapped tornado with loads of damage on his stream. Further South the second Tornado Emergency of the night for Tilton and Oak Vale. Serious velocity on there. Mike.

Just a screaming NE wind here now, but three cells gone up over Chester way with lightning?

Counted around 50 or 60 thunders and 10 or so C-C bright white or blue lightning before it stopped. Pouring with rain now. The storm died like flicking a switch.

25 or so rumbles of thunder from the Congleton cell over the last 30 mins or so. No lightning and moderate rain here.

Ten rumbles of thunder here and heavy rain. No lightning but certainly elevated and thunder sounds like the sky splitting apart. The sound ran from one side of the sky to the other

2 rumbles in macc. Edit 4 big rumbles. 1 a minute or so.

Can see this from Macclesfield as bubbly Cumulus cloud moving away. Nice crisp tops.

Agitated Cumulus over in Macclesfield as well. On the Northern edge of this by the looks of it, but guarantee myself a storm and a soaking if I go for my daily allowed walk later!

Decent clouds just as the last light of the day faded, here in Macclesfield. Nothing as yet.

ENHANCED Risk tonight across deep South TX with 2% tornado risk, 30% wind and 30% hatched hail. Already some severe storms about around San Antonio, TX, but generally messy at the moment. HRRR shows generally a line of severe storms marching East to the coast these next few hours.

First storm of the day about 20 miles or so North of Milwaukee, WI and heading out onto Lake Michigan. 2.25inch hail.

Decent storm allllll the way down near Del Rio, TX dumping 2 inch plus hail in tonights SLGT Risk. Seen a couple of people suggest a tornado or two just over the border in Mexico tonight.

Couplet forming on tornado warned storm near East Galesburg, IL.
