While Brandon Houck was having all the fun chasing real tornadic storms I got to view one that only looks like a funnel cloud but totally isn't. Still, the views on the Dunn Lake Road were pretty rewarding even if lightning activity was low in this storm.



Scud (cloud)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaPannus,[1] or scud clouds,[2] is a type of fractus cloud at low height above ground, detached, and of irregular form, found beneath nimbostratus or cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds are often ragged or wispy in appearance. When caught in the outflow (downdraft) beneath a thunderstorm, scud clouds will often move faster than the storm clouds themselves. When in an inflow (updraft) area, scud clouds tend to rise and may exhibit lateral movement ranging from very little to substantial.
