  1. Something interesting building just to the south of Coventry at the moment. Looks like it might miss here, but looks quite intense none the less
  2. Finally stopping rain in Birmingham. However, the airport is still giving a 30% chance of heavy showers of rain and thunderstorms for the rest of the evening. Watch this space... It will probably come to nothing, but no harm in hoping!
  3. Apparently the 2nd photo of the funnel was taken by ATC up in Glasgow tower. Impressive none the less - what are the chances of that happening? I was saying earlier that I've been flying for quite a few years now, doing 4 flights a day and never heard "Funnel Cloud" on the ATIS or METAR at any given stage. What a piece of luck for all those who saw it yesterday!
  4. My mate who was flying this flight this afternoon just forwarded me this photo from Glasgow Airport... Not sure of the time, but apparently the ATC have some more photos of this funnel!
  5. ok... I've just got a text from my grandparents, who live 4 miles away from here: Hammock blown across garden, branches off trees, lots of flowers damaged and heavy stone bird bath on its side. I'm half tempted to go and have a look - sounds like a particularly nasty gust though?
  6. Bright and sunny here - tried to get footage, but grandparents called while filming, resulting in dropping of camera. So... Nothing from me I'm afraid, I can still here thunder though.
  7. Storm now directly overhead. Thunder constant. Lightning constant. Amazing!! I'm going to try to take some photos with my phone... This is quite amazing.
  8. Ok, it's better here again... lightning every 30 seconds and pretty much constant, quiet, thunder. Obviously still very high up, but an impressive show none the less!
  9. Ok, there's about 1 flash of lightning every minute or so here in Sutton Coldfield, there's also heavy rain - and it's pitch dark. The thunder is very quiet and very high up, but there's still decent amounts of lightning.
  10. Looks like just rain here at the moment - it's started, but aside from the distant rumble or two, so far there's only been a few droplets of rain. Although the sky is very very dark.
  11. Louder and more distinct bang in Sutton Coldfield. This time, certainly not bin men!
  12. Very distant rumble in Sutton Coldfield. Could have been bin men, but getting darker by the minute here. Something is happening shortly, be it rain or more!
  13. It's all slowing down a bit here. Not much going on - 1 flash in the last 5 mins. The rain/hail hasn't been particularly heavy either in the last 5 mins. Suspect that's curtains for now... back to tidying the flat and the normal excitement!
  14. Think that the Masts at Mere Green are taking the hammering judging by where the forks are from the view in my flat!
