I went to let the dog out yesterday morning, when I noticed this shelf cloud quickly approaching. There were several trees and houses blocking my view, so I grabbed my drone and sent it up in the air to get a better look. This thing looked.... intimidating.... from this view a few hundred feet above my house. It was coming in fast, though, and I didn't want to lose the drone in the storm, so I snapped a few photos and then quickly landed before the gust front hit. Despite its somewhat scary appearance, this was not a severe storm. It just rained sideways for about 15 minutes before moving on.

It kind of reminds me of those city-sized spacecraft from that popular copyrighted movie, starring Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum.

Processed the RAW photo through Lightroom and made some basic color and detail adjustments, but nothing too crazy.
