Title: May 7th Funnel cloud
Post by: paulster78 on May 11, 2012, 10:00:40 pm
May 7th was a massive day for thunderstorms across the UK and Ireland with a supercell and tornado Near Oxford, England. Here we missed out on the best of the action but i was keeping a lookout from home and was rewarded in the evening with this short stubby funnel spinning up out of a dark cloud base.

Heres the storm retreating with a partial rainbow and hail shafts.

And the sunset to end the day!
