OT: WTF??

Post by IronNoggin »

While south of the Medicine Line a short spell ago, I drove from Idaho Falls to south of Salt Lake City.
Along the way I encountered this rather confusing weather incident.
I was in somewhat heavy traffic, so shot the pix through the window of Pa's truck.
Never seen anything like it, and I cannot find anything even remotely close on the net to determine what is was:

Thoughts??

Wondering...

It reminds me of the time there were a couple of water spouts near my cottage. Those things are scary! One of them picked up a 30’ sailboat and put it down about 3/4 of a mile away on someone’s cottage lawn!
Whatever it is, there’s plenty of mass to it because there’s a shadow behind it.

Same here, I've seen them also and it looks like a water spout, think of it as a mini tornado that is infused with water, Boos post would attest to that.

Seen water spouts on Lake St Clair like that a few years back. The walleye fishing was excellent that day so we stayed on the water. Just another questionable decision in my life... lol
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
