tornado reported in Dexter, MI. Photo's of damage here
-
still foggy here too although will brighten up later apparently. There's also the mention of storms in the south tomorrow evening courtesy of the local BBC weather forecasts this morning - fingers crossed here!
-
that's curious as the local BBC forecasts this morning are warning this area that we might have thunderstorms on Saturday. According to NW Extra there is a 40% chance of them here on Saturday evening around 21:00hrs but I fully expect that to change

Here is a video (compliation of strikes) I took from bristol of the 9th May 2008 storm, The best storm I have seen in the last five years.
I remember the june 25th 2009 too, It was much more distant from where I was in Bath at the time but I remember the distant IC flashes in the CB
What's the thing happening at around 18 seconds in? I see the lightning strike then lots of green & orange pulsing light!?? :wacko:

Not on the scale of yesterday but there are some warnings out today for tornados and severe thunderstorms in Florida. Am watching "Warmsector" on http://chase.tornadovideos.net/pages/full_screen at the moment who appears to be in a good position.
Edit: some links to images for yesterday:

What an amazing day for storms out there but unfortunately there have been some deaths
There have been 6 confirmed deaths in Southern Indiana

Numerous tornado watches out at the moment and I have never seen the live chase video site so busy!

Happy summer to all ...many thunderstorms and 35c ... actually scrap the 35c ... i'll be heavily pregnant by summer!!
Oooooh congrats Beka! x
Don't wish for heat when pregnant tho' - I had that problem in 1998 and I'm sure I melted a bit at some point!
Pleasant day today, not as warm as yesterday but I'm liking the warmer weather now & looking forward to a thundery summer (well I live in hope!)

Well it's raining here but sounds worse than it is because it's quite gusty too. I'm rather glad I'm sat indoors, even though I have my head buried in an assignment due in next week! :o
Latest weather readings from here are:
Temp: 9.4oC
Humidity: 82%
Dewpoint: 6.5oC
Max Gust: 35.1km/h

Will be nothing left here
Had 1 inch and it's nearly all gone Booooo.Did you get home to snow Beka? Was loads still around as I drove through Winchester on my way home
-
very little snow at home and almost no sign of it left however the drive to skool was interesting - the further north I drove the more snow there is & it was still trying with tiny little flakes - think it's stopped now though. Was amusing to see the "kids" doing handbrake turns in the carpark and someone had drawn a rather rude male appendage on the rear window of someone else's car which I found highly amusing !!!

We have a pvr and hubby says we are digital anyway so it doesn't matter. He is looking up on the internet. Despite the fact there is a booklet on the table that came through the door months ago I left incase!!
Yeah but he's a bloke hun & they don't tend to read manuals / leaflets - think that's genetically imprinted in them lol!
Light snow now falling here, sounds like musical ice particles, off to bed now though :-)
-
There's always one to spoil the general atmosphere. Go watch your lamp-post and not your radar for a change.
That's hardly fair! All PFC is doing is reporting on his lack of snow, as am I. And yes, I have a lamp post outside and there's sweet fa falling!
-
it is for anywhere east of southampton
agree
-
temp 0.7c, humidity 80%, dewpoint -2.5c & absolutely nothing falling from the sky here. Maybe that miniscule "dusting" earlier was it?
-
Very light snow now falling in Southsea
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!
-
1/10 here for snow (or rather lack of it) - just looks like crunchy frost on top of the wheelie bins
-
Snowing in Locks Heath!
Greetings from a mile down the road from you where it is also snowing although the flakes are tiny, few and slow-falling. Let's hope it gets heavier eh!
-
its all gone very quiet in here !!!!
Well I must confess to having to bite my tongue & sit on my hands for a while but no longer!
temp 0.8 and falling, 76% humidity, dewpoint -2.9 and falling & pretty snow symbols on my weatherstation console
Had 1 inch and it's nearly all gone

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
