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

This is amazing footage captured in 1080p of the best shelf cloud I have seen to date coming ashore off Lake Michigan in Grand Haven, MI. I arrived somewhat early for the show and setup on the public beach just south of the State Park in Grand Haven and managed to capture this incredible scene.

While the winds were very sub severe (I measured 22.8MPH on my anemometer), the structure was breathtakingly beautiful. This storm definitely takes the cake for the best shelf cloud to date.

I am a storm chaser based in Norman, OK. You can visit my website at http://www.benholcomb.com for more information about me and full accounts from my past storm chases including video and pictures.

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.
