Tornado in the skies over Southampton

A 'mini tornado' has been filmed by Dan Hampton in Hedge End, Southampton. He filmed it on his 'phone yesterday, Tuesday. Of course, we may think of it as a little twister - or mini-tornado but it's really a funnel cloud - formed during a thunderstorm or heavy shower.

If a funnel cloud touches the ground, it is generally regarded as a tornado and could cause damage. Still - it looks good!
