I reckon it was south of Hayling Island, about 19:00. My first ever
sighting of one, so I'm suitably thrilled :-)


When I was working for the Isles of Scilly Steamship Co. my office had a clear view right across Mount's Bay and I once saw 2 waterspouts about 1 mile apart.

No photographs of these, but we did have funnel clouds on consecutive days (17th & 18th August 2006) one of which passed almost directly over my house http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/Aug2006Storms.PDF

It is great to have exciting weather occasionally!

It's gone flat again http://magicseaweed.com/Live-Sennen-Webcam/65/ also no deep blue skies today.
