As I just mentioned in the other thread I woke up to a thunderstorm yesterday. We don't really get that many thunderstorms in Sweden, very few tornadoes (mostly water spouts) and very rarely any supercells. It seems however (I'm still waiting for a response from our national weather service) that the thunderstorm that made its way through Stockholm may have been a supercell. Some newspaper mentioned this.
Through the tip of storm track user moerkan I found these radar images from the event:

Although they don't really look like what you are used to from GRlevel it does show signs of rotation. There was a also a waterspout ("tornado") reported in the archipelago outside of Stockholm as can be seen here: http://instagram.com/p/rYhknyrEmz/?modal=true
It's quite difficult to tell if it actually is a waterspout/tornado or not from this rather blurry video but it does seem to rotate so I believe it was. Interestingly enough, this movie was shot by one of our biggest ski stars in Sweden, two time Olympic gold medalist Pernilla Wiberg.
So, a rather unusual event from one of the typically, weather-wise, least eventful places on earth. I was quite happy to experience this![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
What's your take on this?
