I love the sky in the first picture.

Very ominous and moody. I have to admit, I don't know a huge amout about photography (currently at the learning with an old SLR stage.)

Where did you take it?

Ah, i don't know much either in all honesty, im only 16 haha

The first picture was taken at a place called Budley Salterton and believe it or not it was taken on the 7th of August!!!!

Probably just a weather front.

Now this is the start of a Tornado

It looks like the sort of cloud that a tornado might form out of but there is no cone or funnel of cloud reaching out towards the ground/sea which is characteristic of the start of a twister.

This gives a pretty good explanation.

Actually... where is that?

Definately a weather front, quite a nice moody one too

I think what you guys are missing is about 60% of the way across the pic, near the top...lighter grey that looks like it's just starting to spiral.

Personally...not sure...but #2 and #3 are rather nice pics nonetheless...

No tornado, just a typical summer English seaside view as seen here.

I believe it's called an 'occluded front'.

Is that a tornado forming? Pretty unlikely. Most form in intense thunderstorm clouds; lots of lightning and pissing rain first.

When my grandmother was a schoolgirl a tornado sliced through the lecture theatre in which she was being taught. Killed half the class. I guess it must have been either in 1925 or 1927; both years in which St Louis, Missouri was hit by big tornados. God knows what effect that has on a child.
