As forecast and monitored, a large MCS has hit N Germany in the morning hours and is now moving SE-wards across the region. Intense lightning activity as well as severe weather phenomena accompanies this system: severe wind gusts, large hail and a confirmed tornado so far. Below are some first reports from the system.
