Passage of a thunderstorm front on 30.08.2012 over the Elbe valley near Bad Schandau, image 4: Here the monster is just crossing the Elbe. Fortunately, the town of Bad Schandau only experienced a few strong gusts of wind and some rain! It looked worse a bit further north, from Königstein downstream along the Elbe! As I could see on the way back, branches and in some places entire trees had broken off here!

Passage of a thunderstorm front on 30.08.2012 over the Elbe Valley near Bad Schandau, image 3: And now the monster is here! With a massive gust front and turbulence that a photo can hardly capture! The entire formation rotated clearly counterclockwise, and the wisps of clouds rising behind the mountain on the left of the image took only a few seconds to reach the cloud base! In the far right background, the heavy rain/hail area can be seen. I believe this sight would have thrilled any  storm chaser ! Until now, I had only seen such images on TV reports from the USA! As I later learned, the same storm cell even produced a tornado over the Zittau Mountains shortly after this shot!!

The following 6 images are intended as a small documentation of the passage of a severe storm over the Elbe Valley in Saxon Switzerland. All shots were taken on 30.08.2012 from the passenger steamer  Meissen  near the town of Bad Schandau. Here is image 1: While it almost becomes  night  in the Elbe Valley due to the approaching thunderstorm, massive cloud towers are already swelling over the Czech Republic, still illuminated by the sun at the upper parts.
