August 21st 2012 on Glenshane Road looking east at one of the most explosive thunderstorm updraughts I have seen in recent years in wonderful sunshine as an organised multicell thunderstorm rumbled away in the countryside over east Co. Antrim on a very unstable day when severe thunderstorms and mesocyclones were forecast across N. Ireland. Check out the house to the lower left and imagine the size of a person using the windows for scale then compare that mental image with this massive updraught and you will feel the wow factor. This updraught was sheared and may have had some rotation while the crisp top was expanding rapidly by the second as seen with the naked eye, what a sight, read the report for more information. * All images are available for sale in the form of photo prints, canvas or digital files for licensing, if you are interested in a purchase simply drop me an email.
