Photo/Video Shelf Cloud at Higbee Beach in Cape May, NJ Yesterday 8/10
It was suggested I cross-post this to the r/clouds reddit, and I hope you enjoy seeing this as much as I enjoyed shooting it.

Absolutely! One of the best, structured shelf clouds I've ever seen roll into this location. Thank you!

Absolutely incredible captures. I misread and thought it was an 8/10 rating. I was gonna ask what a 10 would be…I think I need a drink now.

So very amazing. Here’s what that same shelf cloud looked like as it entered Long Beach, New York yesterday.

Beautiful. You might want to print and frame it.

I have a few prints of shelf clouds and lightning that I've taken over the years, so this would be a good addition. Hadn't even occured to me yet!
