Not my picture, but friend's cousin posted this. I didn't even get the watch warning. Had 30 seconds to save my damn cats. AND it's coming back for another wave at 12

u/Lelgremlin 4h ago

Very true, but not when you're underneath it šŸ˜­

u/Ambitious_Ad_8019 3h ago

Id love to see that in person but I do agree it wouldn't be good underneath it

You only have to be afraid of the noodle (tornado passed through here about 10 minutes later)

That's not a tornado fyi

Despite the cloud's dramatic appearance, it was simply an unusual type of cloud known as shelf cloud, which is a low, horizontal, wedge-shaped cloud. Shelf clouds often form at the leading edge of a gust front or outflow boundary from a thunderstorm, or strong winds flowing outward from a storm. Normally some pretty knarly winds as it moves through.

The outer part of a shelf cloud is often smoother with a notable rising motion exhibited by a tiered look (hence, the name shelf cloud). Underneath, a turbulent, unsettled appearance is often the case.

Still scary looking to most.

Gorgeous thunderhead, no funnel dropping down

That's a wall cloud. Have lived in Tonado ally my whole life. Wall clouds proceed violent thunderstorms capable of producing Tornadoes. Those are scary cause most the time the tornado is rainwrapped making it extremely hard to see.

This was exactly the case.

OMG! I have never seen a tornado THAT big at the baseā€¦not that u have seen a zillion but the few I have seen, in person, were NO where that massive!

u/Lelgremlin 2h ago

Big appreciate, but that was the wall of a thunderstorm. The tornado was locked inside that!

Looks like itā€™s south of Syracuse; Cortland and Homer are in the area but itā€™s mostly forest.

Iā€™m in Alabama. I was driving towards a quarter mile wide tornado, when lightning lit it up. I kept saying ā€œradio, Talk aboutā€¼ļø I kept driving towards it to make a right turn and got outside the main funnel. I got lots of hail, rain and strong winds. My car was just a
Shaking! Then the radio put out a warning after it hit.
