    I really hate that term "mini tornado"! Its usually made up by uk media outlets who don't realise the uk gets tornados, infact it has on average about 100 tornados a year.

    Um, cell is going north east but base of scud along rear flank going south west? Rotation? Cant see the rear fully yet as theres a row of houses in the way... This thing is huge and is covering the entire skyline from the west all the way to the north.
  3. Windblade
    Ok, this next cell is huge and seems to be travelling north east. Might just skim here.

    Storm has passed. Dry now. Another distant rumble. Not sure if its coming from the cell to my east now or the approaching one to my west.

    Its moving away but had a few more flashes and rumbles. For a few seconds I definitely saw a thin rope to the north west flank so ran to grab my mums phone to take a pic (still live at home) but by the time I got it it had dissipated. So typical. EDIT - Another flash and distant rumble. Looks like theres another cell right behind this one heading this way.

    Still on one strike so far but was pretty much right above my garden and very loud but also very short.
  7. Windblade
    Yep, its heading straight for you mate, enjoy!

    Absolutely torrential rain now, massive drops. It was dry 10 mins ago! And as I type a huge IC strike right infront of me and instant thunder. No doubt about it this time!
  9. Windblade
    Massive bolt of IC lightning just now to my west but didn't make any thunder?!!!??? Whats going on?????? Saw it out the corner of my eye, unless it was tv reflecting in the window?

    I have a huge cell rapidly approaching from my west. Pink on the right side of it and amber on the other! I would take some pics but the phone is off and charging. Its just started to pour.

    Just heard thunder from a dark looking cell appoaching from my west. Didn't expect that!
  12. Windblade
    Ah man, I would've loved to see that. I now await the cringeworthy and quite incorrect news headlines of "Mini Tornado" (no such thing) or "What appeared to be a Tornado" (I'm sorry...APPEARED TO BE???!!!???!?). Grrrrrr.

    That chelmsford storm looks like an absolute monster!

    Radar showing a bunch of small cells approaching from the west heading for london. Perhaps they will make their way here and develop into something (wishful thinking)? Suns just popped out briefly. Still doesn't seem warm/humid enough round here today for storm activity to me but you never know.
  15. Windblade
    Yeah I wasn't sure if it was just scud but looked a bit more organised. It's hard to tell sometimes! As I said though, beautiful pic mate.
  16. Windblade
    Wow, thats a great picture. Look at the base on that thing! Is that a wall cloud on the lower right? It looks pretty ominous and we know the area has famously had tornados in the past...

    Stopped raining and the sun came out for a little while this afternoon but has clouded over now. No where near as hot or humid as it has been earlier this week and still feeling quite cool. However...skies darkening to my west and its headed in my direction...
  18. Windblade
    Been lightly raining since 8am here. Overcast and cool. Does not feel stormy in any way, although after the hot and humid week we've just had I welcome this nice cool weather for a little while.
  19. Windblade
    Did have hazy sunshine after those earlier rumbling cells cleard from mid afternoon and very warm and humid feeling, but its clouded over now. Nothing significant on the horizon that I can see. I think with the nature of the current setup, that could be it for these parts today. I'd love a nice relaxing night time storm as I'm going to bed this evening, but I doubt it's going to happen today. Tomorrow is looking ok, could be in with another chance of seeing something.
  20. Windblade
    Rain stopped now. Very dark from my west stretching right to my north. It's moving away very slowly but no wind or breeze at all at ground level. Completely still.
  21. Windblade
    Orpington cell has died. Just turned to rain now which has been above me for a while now. Birds are singing again and its getting brighter. Maybe theres more to come though, its only just past three o'clock and still looks unstable and feels warm and muggy still.
  22. Windblade
    Harry, has your cell died? I got heavy rain now coming from the south but no more rumbles from your cell for about ten minutes now.
  23. Windblade
    Light rain now. Looks like the brighton cell is also tracking this way!
  24. Windblade
    Its been dry all this time but a few very light spots starting to fall. And just as I type that the rain has stopped. Very calm and still now. Harry, I can now hear your cell rumbling away to my south and getting louder and more frequent.
  25. Windblade
    Cell is to my northwest now and rumbling away. No lightning seen though. Looks like it's moving away. Curious no strikes showing on lightningmaps from this cell. However, it appears Harrys orpington cell is headed this way so I may have another treat to look forward to!
