It’s not a Tornado…

12 July 2010 

I was sitting watching the 1 O’Clock news yesterday when a huge squall of wind started up. It blew ferociously for about 5 minutes and then subsided. I’ve never seen anything like it.  

Wind funnell above the competitors

 

 Today the Herald gives an explanation. A  Funnel Cloud (a tornado like wind)  had blown up over Largs. They paper has a beautiful picture of the wind funnel above Cumbrae with the Laser World Championships in the foreground. (picture from The Herald)
