The storm pushed nice shelf clouds ahead of itself, here is one photographed in Hajdúszoboszló from SZUPERCELLA.HU:
Tornado sightings in Hungary are around 1-3 one year. This year, a tornado spawned by winter storm Emma's meeting with warmer air tore up rooftops in the village Nagyszentjános on 1 March; and a second tornado devastated the cemetery of the village Csány on 7 April, and . And then, this single storm produced two more tornadoes (and another two funnels that didn't touch down). Storm-chasing is a newly popular hobby in Hungary, and one team caught the tornado plowing up fields and a forest near Gátér on camera. The video is not yet on YouTube, so here is a still again from SZUPERCELLA.HU.

I find I'm behind the news in science: the systematic registration of tornadoes in Hungary (i.e. not just those doing significant damage) started oly recently, and the normal number seems not 1-3 but 6-12. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
We hurried a bit so as to get out of the wide open fields before the lighting may arrive, and arrived at our destination at least a whole minute before the heavy rain started to fall. Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères
If I read the archived pressure/front maps right, in part: storms over Paris must have been caused by a cold front of a depression moving over the Baltic Sea; three days later, this and a previous cold front of this depression (over St. Petersburg by then) and that of another depression over Italy linked up over the Carpathian Basin, producing a very strong temperature gradient. (I remember from the no more archived temperature map that Western Hungary had 10°C at the same time Eastern Hungary had 28°C, with a sharp transition of at least 10°C right above the Danube.) *Lunatic*, n.
