Anyone here have a bad attack of leg cramp yesterday about 7 pm
British time, maybe noon to early afternoon US/Canookistime?

I had a bad attack in my left calf that is still feeling bruised. I am
wondering if there is something in the earth when these things happen,
as I am sure the weather is involved.

Classic mid west USA one too. Nothing on here though.http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa

It turned out to be Australian:

An apparent tornado that whipped through open paddocks near Tungamah
last Monday evening was "like something from a movie" a woman who
witnessed it said.

"It was just beautiful; it was pure white and this tunnel of cloud
stretched from the sky right down to the ground."

Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Kevin Parkyn said it was
entirely possible the Lawrences did indeed witness a tornado in
action.

"They're probably a lot more common than many people realise," Mr
Parkyn said.

They will go to Tungamah this week to learn more about the Lawrence
family's sighting.

Chris Lawrence said he had never seen anything like it, despite living
in the Tungamah area for his entire life.

Mr Lawrence said the twister "snaked" along the ground for about 30
seconds before dissipating into the clouds.

Mrs Lawrence said Zoe managed to snap a picture on her father's camera
phone just as the twister disappeared.

"It was swirling towards us and then it was like someone just popped a
balloon," Zoe said.

Although the time and date give it as Monday, that was the same time I
had the cramp. Aus is 10 hours ahead of us.
