| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1049944  United States07/27/2010 06:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Travelling through Iceland on July 15th I noticed a storm cloud, which in itself is unusual for Iceland. As I got into the car I noticed a small funnel shaped cloud stretching towards the ground. I immediately jumped out of the car and told my partner to get her camera. I saw the twister touch down briefly but due to the camera start up delay I missed the money shot. The gps location as accurate as I can give was Hnit: 64° 4,077'N, 19° 46,172'W (ISN93: 462.435, 396.322) and the funnel cloud occured south of us. Photo available here... [link to yfrog.com] I am currently trying to track down the driver of the car to see if they managed to get any additional photos. Quoting: iceboundalienthat wouldnt even mess up your hair |

| Ostria User ID: 1049333  Greece07/27/2010 07:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I found a similar event from 2007 (30 july) "A tornado, which is a very rare sight in Iceland, was spotted on Skeidarársandur plane of sand in south Iceland of Friday. The tornado touched the ground for about five minutes and whirled up sand and dust." [link to www.icelandreview.com] Maybe you have to contact them and post your photo there |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1049972 Portugal07/27/2010 07:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I certainly agree it was no F5, but I thought it warranted a post as it is an unusual event here. Quoting: iceboundalienVolcano is quiet now. Earthquakes have been very strange tho, i would expect a major event within six months if current trends continue to escalate You expect this major event in which region? Mýrdalsjökull, Tjörnes fracture zone or Vatnajökull? |

We have an inkling that a vent may be leading the magmar towards vatna. About two weeks before the first volcanic eruption this year, there was the first thunder storm with lightning here in around 30 years. Something is definitely going on here. |
