Yes, Convective North was out chasing storms once again. The chasing 'mojo' was still there and I still have that 'gut feeling' you need to have to get results.
I was on a cell out towards Portglenone when I noticed a very sturdy tower going up beyond Tardree Forest (to my SE). It looked ragged on the base and looked as sure as hell it was going to produce 'something'.
When you chase storms for long enough..you know and can tell when something may well 'produce'.
And it did.....
I caught the cell and stayed about 5 miles back from the updraught. Sure enough...when the cell was over the Whiteabbey area she produced a lovely Funnel Cloud. Lasted about 7 minutes.
I followed the storm towards Carrickfergus and it dropped a second funnel...this time a rapidly rotating sideways affair.
Enjoy...and please ask first if you want to use these local media.
