Incredible Breathtaking Shelf Cloud comes ashore in Grand Haven, MI on July 18, 2010

[iRyanww]

I masturbate to this video

[Russian4Fun]

Looks like the cloud from Independence day, the movie.

[Leenda72]

@Russian4Fun looks like the storm from halo 3 when the ark shoots out blue laser

[doesnotFempute]

Do you think this footage belongs to someone by the name of ben holcomb??

[Juanita120]

Mother nature is very beautifull!<3

[01algra]

i almost died during this video.....>(Breathtaking :)..)

[hireikana18]

gotta love how the people are just chillin' lol

[DJUnibob]

Nice Capture here. Had a couple of storms with shelf clouds over Northern Lower this summer, but they weren't quite as close to the ground as this one.

These are scary to some people, but for those who love weather, like me, these are also beautiful. I just don't want to be under it once it passes. General rule with these, the closer it is to the ground, the stronger the winds and the heavier than rains...and the quicker both occur.

[ichigosan777]

02:44 boobs o_________o!

[WatchIFBored]

i was on the pier that day

[shuriken05]

Wow that cloud felt so close to the ground.

[GermanyStormchasing]

Epic!

[TheMarijuanachannel]

wtf theres no thunder in there?

[TrancetasticWilza]

Amazing! Thanks

[PebblesTheVixen]

That was seriously breathtaking as the cloud moved over those people sitting on the beach! Amazing!

[Candyismylife226]

Wow people seriously wanna die...and some people dont listen.

[that70sgirl1]

Holy Crap! I grew up in Muskegon which is near there, never saw anything like it!

[justinbismylife14]

bitchezz u better get yo asses in that damn hotel not run to the vending machine like @MrFisheez said! good one bro!

[steelhead713]

Great video just made a shelf cloud video of the 9/2/11 storm in grand haven!

[xXCyberelfexX]

Oh, the Visitors.

GREAT SHELF !

[mattmatt115]

This beautiful thing hit my town, what a rush it was! I could definitly put up with these on a regular basis! LOVE BIG STORMS

[robindebelg]

you dont wanna be on a boat in the middle of the ocean when such supercell is heading towards ya

[Candyismylife226]

By the 4th picture, EVERYONE should have used their brains and left -.- 1:26 WHY THE HECK ARE THERE STILL PEOPLE ON THE BEACH. OMG THEY WANNA DIE

[Tethmes]

@Candyismylife226 Why leave? there's no lightning... doesn't look like insane winds, and I don't see any funnel clouds in sight. They were using their brains by not having irrational fear of a cloud :)

[Candyismylife226]

@Tethmes Still, that might equal up to dangerous... even though its just a cloud, they should have left.

And dont reply to this, bcuz I wont reply back :P Idiot

[Tethmes]

@Candyismylife226 I wouldnt have had to reply back. But apparently Im an idiot for having a valid opinion. And my point is valid if you think so or not. If you live your life according to a slim chance of what might happen, how could you have any excitement? How could you experience half the beautiful things the world has to offer such as this cloud? (internet and videos don't count) Might and what if are the bane of our existence. Sooner you realize that, the better your life will be.

[NJJMC]

That was fucking breathtaking. Sorry for swearing, but it was.

[fabstormchasing005]

Now that's a developed shelfer. Nice video

[1666Black]

beautiful shelf cloud

[ganzfan9]

holy crap man! ya know the most interesting part was 2:46

[celebrityfan1990]

hey its shelf cloud another form of a severe thunderstorm or it is just a cloud w/o rain?

[SneaksForFreaks]

@celebrityfan1990 i seen one of these today. it dropped a funnel cloud but nothing happend. sometimes they can be severe and usually cause strong downpours and hail

[vynce666]

2012!!!

[Hiwari04]

I had horse back riding at 7:00 in the morning and saw shelf clouds forming above the ocean. While horse back riding it began to downpour. What fun it was trying to get back to the stalls.:D

[NightLover201]

[tamara719]

I know that pier...

[hibiscusfreak]

It's amazing how most people on the beach don't even seem to notice it, let alone get off the beach due to approaching bad weather.

[alyukr]

NOT FOR BROADCAST

[DetroitLove4U]

I was riding that cloud to get over the border.

[Zinlol]

It looks like the seagulls are being blown away in the wind!

[skatershick101]

[MrFisheez]

0:18 .... He saw a vending machine.

[randomvidz94]

@MrFisheez yayy candy !!!

[slimj091]

i remember last summer the one and only shelf cloud i've ever seen roll over my town.. a few seconds later everything that wasn't built solidly to the ground was going sideways.

[IUGreekHottie]

that is super creepy!!!!! being there I would be booking it, even though it's not dangerous until you see lightening.

[LaserDarkDX]

Awesome shelf cloud!

Did you get any severe weather out of this storm?

[alec88gojrgoblue]
