Dave Barrett spotted the rare phenomenon in the hills north of Kirriemuir
The spectacular sight of a twin twister in the Angus glens has been captured by a keen Courier country hillwalker.

Dundee's Dave Barrett was out in the hills north of Kirriemuir this week when the unusual natural phenomenon unfolded in front of him.

He quickly grabbed a picture of the two funnels in the low cloud conditions.

Meteorological experts say a single waterspout is not an out of the ordinary occurrence in the UK, but the sight of two so close together is a rarity.

Comment: Mainstream science still doesn't really know what exact conditions are required for wind vortexes to form, and it's becoming increasingly evident from the rise in these unusual occurrences that their theories are sorely lacking: Also check out SOTT radio's Behind the Headlines: Earth changes in an electric universe: Is climate change really man-made? and SOTT's monthly documentary SOTT Earth Changes Summary - April 2019: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs:

As the US experiences its worst planting on record, China is facing a one-two punch from African Swine Fever and Armyworm. Food prices are rising.

Canada officially reports a 14-year high of arctic sea ice levels.

Will ASF come to US, and inspire forced vaccines for livestock?

Growers fear up to 70% crop loss due to cold weather

Mango production in the main growing regions of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and South India is likely to to be hit due to uneven weather.

Weather vagaries

Production in Uttar Pradesh is likely to be down by about 70 per cent compared to last year, because of the cold and moist weather during the flowering stage.

Heavy winter snow and ice finally melts into Lake Michigan along the Milwaukee Harbor along the lakefront.
In 2017 "Climate Experts" had irrefutable proof that the Great Lakes would continue an evaporation decline spiral due to climate change, but today we are at 100 year high water marks with all of the great lakes about to set the highest water marks ever set. We also see the same "this place is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world" headlines coming out of the same Great Lakes. When will the corporate media begin asking hard questions why so many bad predictions didn't pan out?

A prehistoric forest of hundreds of trees which died more than 4,500 years ago has been uncovered on a Welsh beach after low tides and a storm
A prehistoric forest which was buried under water and sand more than 4,500 years ago and inspired a local legend has been uncovered on a Welsh beach.

The forest near the village of Borth, Ceredigion, Mid Wales, used to stretch for up to three miles along the shore between Ynys-las and Borth but eventually was buried under layers of peat, sand and saltwater.

The eerie remains of these ancient trees under Borth's beach have led to the local legend of the mythical Sunken Kingdom of Wales, called Cantre'r Gwaelod.

Folklore has it that Cantre'r Gwaelod, or the Sunken Hundred, was a once-fertile land and township stretching for 20 miles, but was lost beneath the waves in a mythical age.
