Amazing photo! Did you see any strong winds associated with that? That photo could be on the cover of a magazine  8-)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that is a roll cloud but rather a shelf cloud.
I didn't think they were connected to actual storm cells but I could be wrong.
Either way it's a great photo.

LOL...That's why I was an electronics guy and not a meteorologist...

Thanks for the kind words...

Farmtalk...

Gusty winds just as I left the house with a bit of rain. Highest sustained wind was 28 with a gust to 33...

I thought all of those clouds were reclassified as an "ohshit" cloud.

Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness all normal.
I stand corrected.
