lol - or turn the volume down ;-). He was 'frightened' by the sudden speed in which I'd shouted down to the wife to get the camcorder!...

Almost positive that isn't a funnel cloud.. There is no wall cloud anywhere to be seen no rotation and the clouds look too weak to even spawn a tornado in the first place nice try but this is just a pointy cloud formation looking as if a funnel cloud.

Hello, if you download the clip, and play it at twice speed (or more), there is infact clear anti-cyclonic rotation. I have a much-more high-res clip which is available if needed where everything is clearer. The same applies to the rotating thunderstorm that was shot a short while earlier.

Thanks to everyone for their comments.

That funnel has a great shape at 31 secs!

tornadoes are different in the UK, not as heavy of rotation, anti cyclonic (usually), and no present wall cloud. nice clip.
