Roxie, Thanks for the update ! We had another pass us by today from the southwest. Looks like another night of storms. Thanks again, Walt
I have to agree with Roxie. That doesn't look like a wall cloud, but I think it is a shelf cloud. Harmless but still very impressive.
I agree on shelf cloud instead of wall cloud too. You should consider Joining my Yahoo group: USAandWorldWeatherSpotters

Actually I think that this formation is called a "shelf cloud". Shelf clouds form in association with a gust front. That gust front can be caused by a squall line or downdrafts from a thunderstorm.
