Nasty storm clouds over Pincher Creek

Susan Hochstein photos

Susan Hochstein contributed these pictures taken yesterday evening August 7 of what appears to be a wall cloud type of tornado* attempting to form near Pincher Creek. Hochstein said the formation was visibly whirling.

*Note: We don't have a meteorologist on the payroll here at the Pincher Creek Voice, so we've asked for a more educated analysis of these photos from other sources.  If and when we get more information we'll update this story.

    It's just a wall cloud, not a tornado.

    A nasty one, but there's no defined funnel, and no evidence of rotation.

    Are you sure? Were you there to witness it? Are you an expert or just an opinionated amateur?
