Recommended Posts

I spotted this on the way in to the Anglesey Agricultural Show today - 13/8/2008 between 09:43 and 09:51 BST. I stopped to take a series of photos, and dozens of others took me lead and did the same!

The parent cell (image about 130 degrees across), about 5 minutes before the funnel appeared (two further incipient funnels were visible briefly).

Thanks for the kind comments!

I stopped the car off the line of traffic queuing to go into the show. Stewards looked on with disdain. I told them I was eccentric, which seemed to please them. When I went up to them and pointed out what I was looking at, they were mightily impressed. Job done!

Nice capture there. No sign of it touching the ground? - so it would be classified a funnel.
