Strange cloud formation..

[Capt Lightning]

Looking through some old pics. I came upon this one that I took some years ago a few hundred yards from my house. As I recall, it appeared and moved off quite quickly. It's the only one that I've seen.

In the US, water spouts are fairly common down here along the Gulf Coast, especially in Summer.

Could have been a tornado forming....

it looks like a tornado that was on the ground as it was lifting back up.
