Watched a storm go over north coventry which produced some medium sized hail, but what was most impressive was the low level cloud heading South West into the Storm. That is a lot of potential low level vorticity if it was inflow, but it looked to me like the storm was a right turner. Would advise caution around this storm, which seems to be heading towards South Leicester (potential Tornado). I think this might be seperate to existing reports.

Looks to be a lowering with the storm moving into the Peak District, from my vantage point at least. Too far away to discern if it's a wall-cloud or just a benign lowering of the storm structure.

Stu Robinson reporting Significant Building damage in Leicestershire from a possible Strong Tornado.

The parameters have been there all day for a Significant Tornado and Large Hail including Supercells, just do not know why the BBC Did not put out warnings for this eventuality!

Another possible Hook echo near Cheadle on the 1pm radar.

Also reports of 3" Hail in Leicestershire now (Thats Baseball Sized)

Reports from the girlfriend of damage to property in north Leicester, conservatory roof has been destroyed by hail. Wish I'd stayed a couple more days now!

Not sure if its the same storm - but the cloud outside my window in that direction around 45 minutes ago, just looked as though it was waiting to drop something tornadic.

Pretty much it for the west mids as the cold front is passing through, but man what a morning! Going to remember this for a while!

Wouldn't mind being in Leicester about now to see what that cell is doing!

That was the biggest hail id ever seen, one piece on the lawn next door looked bigger than that, but seemed to be kind of oblong in shape instead of round.

Very intense rain for a few mins too. Not much in the way of thunder though.

I gathered some up & stuck them in the freezer to show people!! Like you say some very odd shapes, never seen anything like it.

I dont understand how we can have such a big day of storms etc and this forum being quite empty of media from people out there. Normally we get loads of pics, Are people just not bothering?

Hmm the weak storm near Darlington is now just a shower. Hopefully when the cold front edges east something will kick off here. 22C with a dew point of 19C - surely I can't miss out!?
