There was a pretty crazy storm right over our house yesterday, complete with some sort of a cloud, but I really don't know which kind. I fastforwarded it to show how far/fast it moved.

@xsevrinx that show got me hooked on storms/tornadoes when i was 5-6 i use to get home from school and watch that show 2 times a day i watched it so much my video tape worn out and had to buy a new one

Yeah definitely a shelf cloud. Shelf clouds are on the leading edge of the thunderstorm whereas the wall cloud is at the rear end of the thunderstorm. Shelf clouds don't rotate like wall cloud and any lowering in the shape of a tornado is simply a gustnado. Wall clouds potentially form tornadoes and are generally larger and lower to the ground that shelf clouds.

@CumulonimbusCalvus and i think wall clouds r smaller

yep, it's a shelf cloud. it is on the leading edge of the storm. the wall cloud is on the tail end of the storm. check out "wall cloud" on wikipedia

I'm sorry to inform you...that's a shelf cloud. It looks similar, but its associated with what is known as the "downdraft" in the storm. A wall cloud is associated with the updraft, and is located at the back of the storm. A shelf cloud is still potentially ominous though, as it can potentially indicate a strong downdraft/impending squall line...which could contain extremely damaging straight line winds.
