twister

[Maser Sod]

I'm a bit of a weather nut, always have been since I got into surfing.

One of my dreams has always been to see a tornado and, today, it finally happened! I managed to get some pics and video, unfortunately I didn't get it in its full glory as I was on the motorway and it took me about 5 mins to turn off, park up and shoot. But at least I snapped enough prove I'm not telling porkies.

Still excited by it a few hours later, never ever thought I would see one.

They are surprisingly common...but small and not easy to capture due to their brevity in the UK.......good one Pat!

You can see it fading away above Cribbs Causeway shopping centre:

Great exciting news Pat , was on ship in the Med years ago and we had one about a mile high and 200yrds wide about a mile off , the captain immediately ordered a course change as we had loads of deck cargo, even at that distance away you could feel the mosture in the air , we were soaked without any rain , surprising the weight of water being sucked up a mile high and 200 yds wide , now that could certainly do a 10 000 ton ship some serious damage , exhilarating though
