I think I drove under it on the M53. I could not see the road at one point.

It's like a tornado but were a tornado touches the ground a funnel cloud doesn't.

There was some really dark clouds in the sky at the time I saw it and it must of been about 10 minutes after I heard a huge rumble of thunder.

Blow! Missed it. Got the black clouds and clap of thunder then went into hibernation. Never seen one, what a shame.

I was driving through Greasby when there was a flash of lightning and then the thunder. I thought at first I had been photographed by a speed camera.Never known such weather in the Winter.

Get used to it. It won't be long before going 33 in a 30 will be enforced by the wrath of god. raftl
