Amazing Cloud Shelf....
I can honestly say hand on heart that I never ever saw any sky like this in all my life...
I was on holiday with my young grandson and his cousin and only had my iphone camera on me as I devoted my time to the boys. Well I captured the moment.....
A shelf cloud is a long wedge shape cloud that forms on the leading edge of a squall line or multi-cluster storm system. They often stretch for miles across the sky and may have finger (non rotating) like clouds reaching toward the ground. Shelf clouds form as cold air within the storm rushes out lifting warm moist air ahead of the storm. As that warm air lifts it condenses and a shelf cloud forms. What you will experience as a shelf cloud moves towards you is first heavy winds and then rain and hail. The main threat with a shelf cloud is severe damaging winds.
