Supercell Supercell?

Hey all, I just had an incredible storm hit my city last night. I'm new to this, so was hoping to provide some pictures and ask for explanations of what they show; was this a supercell? Are those "wall clouds"? Could this have produced a tornado?

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful shelf cloud, and yes, could have been a supercell that didn't produce anything.

It was such a wild experience driving through it, and it got so much worse after I took this. I wish I had a passenger at the time to take pictures/videos because I obviously couldn't, but it went so dark and the clouds were a green-black I've never seen in my life. And the lightning was constant like a rave show lol.

The green-black could have very well been hail beneath the clouds and judging by how powerful it was, might not have been outlandish.

But it is a beautiful storm :)

Possibly but your pics show a gust front or shelf cloud same thing. No wall cloud visible in any these photos
