Hi Oleg and others, What a great geomagnetic storm it was! I saw my first auroras last week. They were mainly green on October 29, but the display in the...
Hi there! Storms hit Germany today. At this moment I do not have much info, other than one tornado report in Hessen. I myself witnessed a monster storm north...
Today I cam across an artikel, and thought you might want to read it :-) Bulgarian president calls investigation into lightning-hit home. The Bulgarian...
Herman, Very strange indeed! A few thoughts about this statistical curiosity, Lightning hits are most likely during the afternoorn because that is the time...
... Hi Nick, I have no further details about this story. Ofcourse most storms are active during the mentioned time, that's the easy part :-) I digged up some...
Could it be geological? I mean is it known that lightning strikes more on a place if for example this place has a local concentration of iron or something (or...
Peter, Hermans reply to what I wrote earlier, probably goes along way to explaining this. I would suggest it is just an issue of the farm being at a high...
Wich country is best for chasing tornados in Europe? And why? We like to know......... the Sweetlakecity-stormchasers p.s. and dont u dare send us the wrong...
Realistically, the simple answer is none, or almost none. Although I expect some will disagree! Tornadoes across Europe are much less frequent than across...
Hi Nick, my question to you would be: - how does it work? a tornado without a meso( because you said "... are associated with non-supercell deep convection...
Hello Helge, There are at least three other ways for a tornado to form out of a non-supercell environment. 1)The largest number of tornados formed in the UK...
Hi guys, Interesting reponse Nick. I made some additions to your text here... ... This is probably right for some places in Europe. However, data from the...
Folks, I dont disagree with what anyone has said, tornadoes do occur across Europe. However, if one wants to go looking (chasing) for tornadoes that is quite a...
Thanks a lot for your answer !.Seems that it is very problematic this subject..tornadoes in Europe. Thanks a lot for your answer. Helge [Non-text portions of...

A large are filled with enormous mammatus is currently moving over The Eastern Netherlands. By far the most impressive Mammatus I've ever seen. (Which ofcourse...
Mammatus indeed. And what a picture, that's what a call a winner! A good tip: always, ALWAYS take your camera anytime anywhere. That is what I do. The best...
Yes, it was mammatus for sure. I've seen lots of photos and reports from all over The Netherlands. As I had a night shift last night, I was already in bed when...
Could you send the other links too? I'd love to see them also. ... Van: Bernard Hulshof [mailto:bernardhulshof@...] Verzonden: maandag 17 november 2003...
Thanks, great images. Mammatus is mostly associated with severe events, but I've seen more with none severe situations, often with light showers, and sometimes...
... I agree, soo far I've only seen it after a Cb passed. The Cb's brought some rain and lighting but nothing really severe. I think there might be a...
Yes, you're right. Mammatus aren't that rare and you don't need a severe storm to see mammatus clouds. Sometimes you don't even need a "real storm" (as today...
