I kept looking for signs of rotation, but never saw any. They blew in very quickly and were gone just as quick. Not sure what it was all about :)

Ya, it was pretty Crazy. I looked out the window and saw these really strange cloud formations ahead of the approaching storm. Grabbed the camera and just snapped away as they rolled by. If anyone is interested I can post a few more shots.

Thanks for the comments,

This was shot just North of Point Pelee National Park in Ontario, Canada. Point Pelee is the southern most tip of mainland Canada. Here's a link to Mapquest that will show the location (hope it works)

Excellent capture though the shot quite bland but what the heck can you given the outdoor conditions. Good luck!
