Welcome Clemens to the forum. Quite frankly, those photographs are absolutely mind blowing. Fantastic lightning and storm structure. I understood that Austria has some very intense thunderstorms, but the first pic is just something I've been looking at for over 10 mins - so much branching in the lightning

Clemens,

Can you please let me know more about the tornadic storm you photographed. I get the impression I have seen these pictures before - or at least some of them?

Regards,

Jimmy Deguara

Sure Jimmy.....this was a Supercell on 10.06.2006 ner Graz. I think you saw some Pictures because i posted them in a lot of forums...(o my god my enlglish is incredible so sorry) *G*

Here 2 radar Pictures of the cell:

Picture from a Friend

There are no pictures from the tornado by his own. he was about 8km away from my position. but the damage was not so bad because there were fields an so on. i think 2 destroid houses.

i hope this can help you jimmy

greets clemens

The structure in the photos is just amazing. Bell shaped and layered - wonderful captures. are you able to comment a little more on this storm? Longevity, hail?

Clemens,

I am suggesting I have observed the pictures because I believe you posted them on here about over a year ago:) I could be wrong of course. Some do it to attract sales and increase popularity.

Thanks for the second lot of structured shots. It shows signs of being a consolidated structure and more HP oriented (mothership variety). Hard to see what may be going on at the back in regards to embedded tornadoes if it did exist in these photographs. What time was the tornado observed compared to the timing of these pictures.

Regards,

Jimmy Deguara

The possible Tornado must be 15 minutes after this picture near the lighting on the right side:

2 houses where destroid and people talked about a rotating cloud on the ground. we also had hail up to 5cm. max wind speeds maybe downburst was --->156km/h on the airport!!!! 2 planes had bad damage.

this pictures was taken 30min later after the sunset at the back of the cell.

posible tail cloud under a meso?

Ok,

So it is on the wrong side - was it a book end vortice tornado? Usually in the northern hemishere, the tornado in a HP supercell would be found on the southern side. I assume the storm was moving towards the photographer in each photographs?

Regards,

Jimmy Deguara

I also found this Picture of the cell. maybe funnel cloud? i dont think that this was the possible tornado because it was on the wrong place.

Hi Clemens, where are you from Austria? Graz?

Really amazing pictures!!!! I like them. Do you have dates to these storms? I'm from Munich and my parents own a house in Austria, so maybe I've heard of them. (I really need a SLR and then I will chase storms in Bavaria.....we really get some great ones)
