Yesterday after work I had to take my daughter to work, and after I dropped her off I decided to go to the beach. It originally looked like a promising sunset, but it turned out that a shelf cloud had other ideas!
This is what it looked like when I got there; It was about 20 minutes before sunset; Some nice orange light was peering through, but the sun didn't look like it was going to make an appearance....Second photo is opposite view, and if you look closely, you can actually see the shelf cloud forming...
I started chatting with someone who recently moved to the area, and as we were chatting, the shelf cloud came along! Needless to say, I was beyond excited! To me, this IS the best part of Florida! I love storm clouds, and chasing them around here is a lot of fun for me! He was getting scared because he parked on the other side, I was also parked on the other side, but I stayed so I can take this shot, and of course the park ranger had to come and tell me to leave! As it always happens! LOL 🤦♀️😂 It wasn't a downpour under that cloud as it usually is in the summer, it was just a bit of rain, but I loved watching it pass.
These are a few cell phone shots I took as I was leaving. It was awesome tho...
