heres something different, tornado`s in Lincolnshire, UK, not those noisy kerosine powered things flown by the RAF but tubes of whirling wind that descend from the clouds , even managed to get some Photographs, weird weather for England, I am just wondering if I should rename the dog Toto.

Wow I've heard of very small ones in the UK - how big was this?

@DavidT : not huge, but then again they are several billion percent larger than normal , one was long and thin and seemed as though it reached the ground from where we where looking, the other was much thicker but just came down halfway from the clouds and then fizzled out, I don`t think the first one touched ground though since the local radio haven`t mentioned anything, although it could have gone through some fields and nobody saw it, today wasn`t a day for being outside, cold and squally rain all day, we don`t get the credit for spotting them first since my mate rung and told us, he was describing them to us from his viewpoint, they where much closer to him than us, they where much larger too than by the time I had got the camera out, by the time I had taken some photos they where starting to fizzle out, then the low battery warning came on after 4 shots and by the time I got back with some new batterys in the camera there was nothing much to see, so I didn`t take any more photos, now if I had had the video camera battery charged , I can see how people miss getting proof when they see something and try to photograph it, took me three or four minutes to think of getting a camera .
