Severe Thunderstorm - Shelf Cloud - Aberdeen, NC 7/31/09 just after 4pm

This is video I took of a shelf cloud in association with a severe thunderstorm approaching Aberdeen, NC on 7/31/09. This formed in assocation with the storm's advancing cold pool and outflow. The storm produced 40-50mph wind gusts when it moved through which are just below severe criteria but there was a warning on this cell. It is possible someone did see higher then that or the storm may have begun to weaken some. None the less it was an impressive structure.
