A series of photos from a colleague here in Tokoroa to be seen on his website... photos from December last year... 31st Dec 06, 17:33pm

Very surprised to see so accurate a picture - as it happened the humidity must have been very high for the vapour to be seen in the small active touchdown.

Thanks to admin for shifting - needed a new thread

Thanks for the interesting pics there.
I was chasing that storm and observed the feature in the photos. My initial thoughts were that it was possibly a tornado but then I wrote it off as scud. It did look spectacular though the way it dropped all the way to the ground. I'll look back at my pics and see what I can find.
