Wierd weather

   We had a front come through yesterday after we got off the water. So we were standing in the boat park putting the cover on and watching the sky get blacker and blacker over the bay. Then I notised there were little clouds growing very quickly about half way between the water surface and the cloud base and they were getting sucked up into the clouds above. A few of the columns started to twist a bit but nothing got big enough to turn into a proper twister. Still quite impressive and rather freaky for NE Scotland
Really wished I had a camera but my phone was in my bag in the club house. 
Anyone seen any other freaky weather stuff resently?

	well everwhere is now covered in sand and you have to stay inside as it really hurts you eyes with horozontily flying sand you cant see for more than 5ft(some sandstorms are worse than others but todays was really bad)
