This morning, a Parrish woman was able to snap a pic of a rare cloud formation. Paul Delegatto from Fox 13 says these roll clouds are not seen often... let alone captured in a photo. Delegatto says roll clouds like this form before a thunderstorm.
Mike Ehrmann/Getty ImagesWikipedia says they're actually called volutus clouds. They are NOT associated with funnel clouds or tornado activity.
Roll clouds are low to the ground and tube-shaped. The "rolling" is due to a variation in speed and direction of the wind.
Did you capture any pics of it? Tag @GenoRadio and I'll share it below.
