looks likely it was a tornado based on UKASF's post here

Cool images coming from MajorLeagueStorms.com at the mo!

I'm sitting on my sofa watching "Weather Weenies" and chuckling at the name!

using both Chrome & Firefox here with no issues at all (sorry if that comment isn't helpful although it does show that it's not a problem effecting all Chrome/Firefox users)

Sporadic heavy bursts of rain here during the day followed by an impressive hail shower an hour ago but no thunder today

Randy Denzer is in one sweet spot! 2 twisters on the ground on his feed, buffering is a bit of a mare but brilliant!

Yup, watching this feed with trepidation!!

Confirm thunder & lightning in Fareham again, woohoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Lightning seen and it was pinky-coloured and horizontal on 2 occasions - cool!!

Random rumblings here and a sky that can't decide to be blue, white or black at the mo! No lightning seen yet tho

I'm not liking the reports coming in of tornado's hitting schools

DFW have grounded incoming/outgoing planes (230 departures cancelled) and will check them over before they're used again - wow, that will take some time!! Edit: Amazing photograph here

I've listening to http://www.radioreference.com, guess people in here already know about this site? http://cdn.nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png

ok so whose feed are we all watching at the mo then? I've got Stormscape Live on along with wffa live

Heavy rain intermittently here and I've just had my favourite kinda email - not had one of these since last year! Woohoooo!! (no thunder heard or lightning seen yet but there does appear to be a -IC showing over the IoW) ============== TSentryâ„¢ THUNDERSTORM ALERT NOTIFICATION ============= --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alert message from the Isle Of Wight Weather Station, issued on Tue Apr 03 19:23:09 2012 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: Thunderstorm detected within 150 mi range! Active warnings: - CLOSE STORM WARNING

Got some heavy rain falling here, temp @ 12.3oC so not cold and whilst I'll miss the sun this rain is much-needed!

As far as I'm concerned everyone else can keep the snow coz I've been enjoying the hot weather of the past couple of weeks and would like it to stay that way lol Have noticed since the weekend that the evenings have gotten cooler than than they have been recently but days are still nice and warm, hurrah!

My hero! Thankyou http://cdn.nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.png

arrghhhh I can't get http://chase.tornadovideos.net/pages/full_screen to work - anyone else got problems?

darnit I'm such a noob! cheers Paul, fab pics too!

There are some stunning images coming from Donovan Gruner at the moment - I'm guessing I'm looking at a wall cloud...?

Finally there's a live feed from MI and it's looking pretty darned good!! Thundering Skies Media

To date I have had 24 clumps of spawn laid. The first 6 I took out of the pond and put in a separate fibreglass pond to be hand-reared (which I do every year). Many of these are now free from the jelly and grazing on it, some look like black dashes, others have distinct head shapes forming! When they run out of jelly / algae I will once again be boiling lettuce to feed to them. If you've never done this I recommend it - boil the lettuce until it's really soft (almost falling apart) and let it cool then float it on the water. If you listen you can actually hear the mad feeding frenzy as the tiddlypoles start munching on it!! When they've got limbs forming you can feed them fish food flakes as they become carnivorous although if you want a giggle put floating fish sticks in and watch as the olympic-style event of "pushing the food sticks across the water really fast & going round in circles" takes place! At this point the water level needs reducing or put stones in that break the surface of the water so the froglets can climb out. Fun stuff aside, it's fascinating to watch them grow up, from tiny little "full stops" to teeny tiny froglets! :wub: Oh and please submit records to both the Big Spawn Count and your local ARG if possible
