Was it a FC or did I have imaginings?
 
Not sure if I saw a FC at 4pm in Fleet, Hants. Could have been a rain
shaft I expect. It was a dark shaft within an area of heavy
precipitation very close to mammatus. Couldnt see the lower part of the
shaft as it was behind trees/buildings. Ran back to my house as fast as
I could to get my camera but I wasnt quick enough and whatever it was
had dissipated.

The BBC forecast this evening mentioned the possibility of
tornadoes along the South Coast this evening!

What is an FC? Is it a mini-tornado?

Cheers, Alastair.
