I really liked the look of the shelf cloud as it passed over Cocoa, Florida, and the Indian River Lagoon. Photo by Chris Kridler, ChrisKridler.com
Nature paralleled the unnatural on Wednesday, July 9, 2014, when a beautiful striated shelf cloud moved over Cocoa, Florida, the Indian River Lagoon and the bridge over the S.R. 520 Causeway. It originated from a barely-moving severe storm farther west that sent out an outflow boundary. The shelf cloud almost mirrored the curve of the bridge as it went overhead. This was a “gentle(wo)man’s chase,” just a few miles from home, as I followed the slow-moving line of severe storms.
