Cheers Butterz.771 You got nice and close to that vortex on the ground. Should have stood your ground though,lol. The dog walker was looking a bit bemused.
I know what you mean about not having your DSLR when you need it, although mobile cameras are pretty good nowadays. All mine were off my mobile.
Hey Singo442, Yeh it was the 26th. I only caught three of them, and I think this was the last or second to last of them. It was around 7:40pm I think, however I'm not sure exactly. Your pictures and videos are awesome! Really liked them. I wish I had taken my DSLR, but only had my Iphone at the time :(
@Butterz771 PS...There's an excellent weather forum called ukweatherworld which I'm a member of. I've posted a write up of the event and I've included all relevant links to other footage, including yours. There's some feedback on the cause of the events last Friday if you're interested the links here
Nice one Butterz771. I presume that you filmed this last Friday evening(26th August)? There were 4 funnels that evening and I think this may have been the second of them. Do you have a time on your phone for this clip? I took some photos/videos from the Meols end of the promenade, Flickr: t.singleton2
Looks like you decided a swift relocation was in order after about 10 seconds of filming!
