It went quite ferocious. Some unconfirmed Tornados. Lots of rain and hail. Some km away from my hometown 80 l /m^2 *h. Some hailstones were 4 incher - lots of cars damaged, trees down, trains canceled. A user got so scared by a bolt that he spilled flakes onto his laptop A mudslide even made it to the CNN-news.

Some places reported 4 cm hail - 7 cm reported from somewhere in the black forest area. Stuttgart reported a funnel, but reports are just rolling in, as chasers return home.

Re: Elevated thread level tomorrow in western germany
I was stationed in Wiesbaden Germany for 4 years and I remember some impressively nasty storms that would come out of NE France during the Summers there.

Ah yep we get those here in the UK when the airflow is southerly/SSW. They tend to somehwat lose thier power over the channel but can still pack a punch with regards to rainfall...indeed I remember a series of storms coming up from France in 2004 that developed into a mammoth powerful meso-convective system. The European severe weather forecasting agency (not sur eof its name!) did mention the risk of possible embedded supercells and it gave some big hail and some pretty extreme rainfall rates though it hadn't exploded really over my location, it did so over the north sea...I will never forget it getting sunny after the storm then getting cloudier again in the afternoon as the huge anvils spread back west as the system developed. I remember hearing Holland and Germany got very high straight line winds, something like 70-85mph.
