Storms and Convective discussion - 1st August 2022 onwards

[StormySoul]

Lovely loud storm here on the Broads!

Sky lighting up and lots of loud crashes I can hear even over my sons fan on his PlayStation

Finally, there are sparks from the channel cells this evening.

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

This is exceptional footage of large rotation and resulting tornado/waterspout IMO, good job. Have referred your comment to Torro.

Can see the lightning from here plain as day but whether it will reach this far north without dying out is another question,...i will keep you all posted.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Does feel like something else could head inland. I’m sure I read that it was possible, and Ventusky is showing storms lingering well into the night

Nasty squall line moving up from the south into my location, lots of CC lightening could get wild here in the next half hour.

In the words of Reed Timmer, that was an impressive “wind bag” event!! Seeing some decent crawlers to my W, but the main bulk heading for here died out over Cambs! Typical.

oh really? that's impressive when the band of rain is a good distance, unless its all elevated, is it quite frequent or every so often?

Every couple of minutes at least now. The clip is from just now looking South East towards Waddington/Grantham direction. Obviously not quite that close but general direction.

I saw I too. Very unusual to be so far away and still see it. Doubt it will be much by the time it gets here.

Update:

 

very loud thunder now and lightening increasing probably the worse storm we have had move through in recent years. Squall line hitting us now.

I've seen one or two reports of a tornado in London? Anyone comfirm this? 

 

Enjoy the storms, not jealous at all! Lol

[poseidon]

Does the shape of this central feature signify some rotation or just an odd shaped heavy rain area? That was the feature that I drove through earlier, with significant winds.

[Lincs Observation]

Update:

biblical rain mixed hail and now CG lightening plenty of noise, wind has picked up significantly.

one or two random strikes around Stafford and Stoke...are they false strikes or is something happening round there too??

[BlueHedgehog074]

Must say that is an impressive line of showers/storms over Eastern UK. Sounds like some of you getting a right show out of some of that lot ️

[Norfolk Sheep]

Half a dozen flashes and a couple of rumbles, which is absolutely epic for this area.

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 

[Allseasons-Si]

Looks like all the energy is exiting the Lincolnshire coast now,game over for this neck of the woods.

[Lincs Observation]

This link on twitter shows the storm earlier this evening in Croydon I believe

 

[Iceman2606]

What a show over Northamptonshire!⛈

Think they are false returns, had strike Runcorn ans SE of Leek earlier, radio not picking any of these sferics up at all.

[Argyle10]

You wouldn't think it's late October!

yea I thought that might be the case, we was always going to be too far west for anything today but was hoping we might get a random popcorn cell or something. Been a very disappointing couple of years up this way tbh for storms...one or two distant thundery showers in August and nothing at all in the summer of 2021....last proper storm we had was Mid August of 2020

[JR319]

Is the cluster of showers approaching the South expected to be of any interest or is it just your standard heavy rain now? 

[Allseasons-Si]

The showers seem to be beefing up on the south coast.
