At a guess. Somewhere in the lower 48?

[Capt Fathom]

Looks like a cornfield in Arkansas!

[redsnail]

Could have been the nasty TS that belted Birmingham Uk recently.

[rsull]

It could also be the cane fields on tropical nth qld

[Desert Flower]

These pictures have been doing the rounds recently and I have seen them touted as being of a storm in America, & also as a storm in Queensland!

DF.

[Ultralights]

i have heard they were of the storm that Hit Bunbury this year and caused all the devastation......

but my gut feeling is they are from the US somewhere....

does anyone know much about these types of weather systems? tops etc? they look to me to be a totally different beast to a super cell.

First saw them in a newsletter from MCP, the mob that imports the sting and pipestral MGs

[Woomera]

Been around a few times, it's not Bunbury doubt if its QLD, penny to a pound them's MidWest cornfields.

Doesn't matter where, mighty scary pics and a good place not to be near in your Ultralight. :}

Would love to see the radar pics there'd be a hook in there big enough to catch a whale.:eek:

Pearson International Airport, Toronto??

[Capt Claret]

If I had to guess I'd say the cloud in the first two pics was rotating anti clockwise, therefore northern hemisphere.

Over the Gulf of Carpentaria :ok:

[Uncommon Sense]

My bet is WA.

(Not an actual bet involving actual money)

Blackpool in Summer?

Copied and zoomed in on the photos. Looks like Woomea is correct - cornfields, and the cars and trucks in at least one photo are driving on the right hand side of the road. Could be Queensland if the drivers are chasing cane toads.

that is actually Bunbury, the storms produced tornados and almost levelled the place.

My staff at the shop downloaded the first one off a media site and have it as a screen saver on some of the work PC's, and yeah wouldnt want to be anywhere near that cell in a light A/C. We caught the northrn cells of the front coming through and they were pretty nasty.

A couple of schools where blown away south of perth and another twister wreaked havok in Freo and Applecross!!

No it's not Bunbury.
These exact photos were emailed to me about 2 months before the Bunbury storms. If fact, the sender claimed they were from the WA Tropical Cyclone Ingrid (March 2005), but that was doubtful!

[FNQTech]

Check this site out. Seems the photos may be of a storm in Iowa. You need to scroll past the dogs. Some spectacular storm photos.

Wow! Nice to be admiring the photos from the computer screen and not from the windscreen. The photo on June 13 looks familiar.

[4SPOOLED]

hmmm

interesting then, wherever it was it must have been a nasty day for a BBQ

[OZBUSDRIVER]

Even made it onto Media Watch tonight.

[Capt Claret]

You tease OzBus.

Even made it onto Media Watch tonight.

OZBUSDRIVER did you see/hear the commentary by an Australian radio presenter on the jetblue nosewheel incident also on Media Watch. Absolute pisser. I'd like to hear him commentate a first solo student doing circuits.:}
