looks like there’s another active storm moving up through similar areas from earlier. bit of back building/ training in action. great to see so early in the year -

Storms and Convective discussion - August 2023
Willsy replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
part of what ya saying is true but i think central south is a prime loacation for convection. i saw a high end f2 tornado last oct that was 300m wide with several small damaging vortices within. it traveled 63 km inland -
wasn’t t expecting the temperature to be this high today! must be a fault with the station recording the temps

i know this is old news but i witnessed a very large waterspout/tornado last year. After torro did their research they found that the parent cell traveled 62 inland producing at least 3 tornadoes maybe more . i caught the first one as it came in at barton on sea. was quite a sight to say the least. wasn’t your standard water spout as had a broad rotation with lots of spin ups within. seeing the damage first hand was like something out of a movie lol. i know i’ll probably never see anything like this again but with a warming world who knows! These aren’t my photos neither is the written info but thought i’d share it for. the torro forum i’m on -

Meteorological highlights of 2022?
Willsy replied to Weather-history's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
my best highlights of 2022 was the barton on sea tornado which caused t5 damage in places which is phenomenal for this country. saw it first hand to which was experience in its self let alone seeing my first waterspout then tornado and not just a normal one as was a multiple vortex. as it came in off the sea i could see the mesocyclone spinning rapidly which must have been 500m across with several funnels touching the water and a horizontal funnel being sucked in from right hand hand side. torro estimated the tornado to be 300m wide at its widest point and this occurred a couple miles in land and also where i saw the worst damage. i will remember this for a lifetime!

Willsy replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
i know this is old news but some may be interested. it’s been confirmed that the waterspout i saw at barton on sea went on land to be a t4 multiple vortex tornado with slight t5 damage in places that traveled 11 km before lifting with max width of 300m -
Storms and Convective discussion - 1st August 2022 onwards
Willsy replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
weyyy i made the bournemouth echo with my interview and video VIDEO: "Mini-tornado" causes havoc ripping off roofs and bringing down trees WWW.BOURNEMOUTHECHO.CO.UK WITNESSES filmed what they described as a "mini tornado" as it ripped through Barton-on-Sea into Ashley. Here’s a edited video of the original waterspout/tornado clip i recorded the other day at barton on sea. i’ve changed the contrast in the video to highlight the cloud more and you can defo see rotation on the water with separate vortices wrapping around the main one as it hits land. i know this sound crazy for this country but could this have nearly been a fully formed rain wrapped multiple vortex wedge if the main area of rotation touched the ground as it moved over land. i’d like any experts on stuff like this to possibly give me a hand in working what was going on with this pretty rare event. when i took the vid there was so much going on to take in what was happening as there was so much going on under the mesocyclone and also i he only just pulled up in the car park so didn’t have to to watch it fully come in which was a real shame.

thanks for referring me. a farm took some bad damage. a large 100 gallon lpg storage tank was ripped from the floor and gas was leaking everywhere. they shut the road as was to dangerous for anyone in the area. i showed the farm owners the footage and said a tornado may have came through -

Willsy replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
so i thought i’d take a trip down barton on sea to see this storm coming in. as soon as i arrived i could see rotation on the water with the maddest right to left motion the meso was several 100 yards across rapidly spinning with a couple funnels. as it hit land it kept its intensity so i thought i take a look to see if there was any damage in land an to my surprise there was. a farm had been hit and had a major gas leak as it ripped an lpg canister from the ground and the barns were all over the place with corrugated sheet everywhere with a wall taken out, across the road there was an oak tree snapped in half completely and up the tree the on the field had a lot of damage with bare twisted wood all the the way along . i’m actually buzzing in what i just witnessed and probably will never see that again. ive made a short film out of the footage and pictures for everyone to see IMG_4148.MOV -

never seen so much low level shear earlier before dark. you can clearly see the low level cloud accelerating one way and the mid/upper level the other way. -
