yup .. looks like something is kicking off in that area http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/index.php?lang=en&page_0=12

great photo! i love it when these storm systems develop wave-like curves in the air.. utterly beautiful. but darn scarey at the same time.

skies are getting seriously weird to my south-east.. seeing the start of mamatus formations , and some really weird rotational elements ( at slow level..) no wind , no thunder, no lightning.. but the cloud formations are definitely getting very odd - and it's streaming from the south-east of me ( in hampshire)

no mamatus here yet in Basingstoke, central Hampshire, but the skies to the south-east are definitely getting ominous... starting to see undulating "waves" in the cloud formations to the SE .. not sure what the technical term for them is.. - it's like a wave in the sky.. is there a technical term for that kind of formation?

woah... so they abandoned coverage because of the "tornado" ?

wow indeed! that's one hell of a photo. is there a meteorlogical term for those blue wavey bands above the clouds in that photo? and what exactly are they?
