I snapped this picture at about 8PM on June 6th looking South-South East from Macks Creek. Sure looked like a Tornado to me.

That's ALMOST to the point of a tornado, but in reality it's just a weird-looking wall cloud. I'd still take cover from that though. Was that the storm they showed on the news last evening/night?

It looks like a lowered rain-free base... if it was rotating, I'd say it was a wall cloud. June 6 saw straight-line wind damage in your area... ... it may be a shelf cloud: a formation that indicates outflowing straight line winds, no rotation
