@Matthew Kelly Stalbridge is only about 5 miles from me, though I didn't see anything as I was indoors at the time. Pics look interesting. Welcome to the forum!

Thankyou!  We first spotted it in Templecombe.  I'm guessing it would have been over Marnhall, Sturminster direction at the time. Shame the pics I got didn't do it true justice!

Hi all, first post. Thought I'd just share this funnel / tornado I witnessed yesterday at about 5:20pm on the A357 Henstridge traveling towards Stalbridge. (Somerset/Dorset boarder). When first spotted it was snaking towards the ground, couldn't say if it touched down or not.  Sod's law, first available spot I could pull over for pic it was obscured behind house (see pic to the right of chimney).  Tried to then get closer but as you can see it had already started to dissipate in the 2nd pic.  Very exciting for my 10 yr old boy who was sat with me, now a budding storm chaser!
