[RFMI (Tornadoes & FC) 15-16 June 07]

Hello Paul,

My wife Zoe and I saw the St. Ives funnel, which was actually to the North-East of St. Ives, and took the following pictures.

The first taken at 1656, shows the rapidly anti-cyclonic-rotating base of the storm.

The next was taken at 1707.

The next was taken at 1709.

The next was taken at 1709 also.

The next was taken at 1712.

And finally, this was taken at 1714.

Very Best Wishes,

Bob.

[The Bristol Channel Storm]

Hello all,

I was sent this pic by BBC Bristol Meteorologist Richard Angwin, taken by a Roger Scott.

It is looking across the Bristol Channel, from Kilve, Somerset.

It is truly superb.

Best wishes, Bob.

[Rotating Storm over St Neots, Cambs, Monday 22 Sep.]

Hi all, while looking from our back-door in Eynesbury at about 14:45 BST, we observed a very strong anti-clockwise rotation over St Neots. Grey cloud was moving away to the north-east, while really heavy dark low-level cloud was racing in from the north. I hadn't seen anything like it here yet! We left the house at 14:55, and saw our one and only IC lightning at 14:57.

We drove onto Potton Rpad, and parked in a lay-by. We were then treated to a most heavy, squally downpour, which lasted for about 20 minutes. It was lovely.

Shame there was no lowering under the rotation -- at least there wasn't as far as we could see ;-)

Bob and Zoe.
