While vacationing with our friend Neal and his family, we got to experience this absolutely incredible storm in Amelia Island, FL!!

Some light rain and rumbles of thunder sent us in from the beach, but it never started raining harder than a sprinkle. Then, about 15 minutes later, a low wall of clouds approached from the west. The cloud shelf had unelievable upward motion. Then, one area actually starting rotating!! The rotating area passed directly overhead and out to sea. Extremely heavy rain and very intense lightning followed. I don't know if a tornado warning was issued for this storm, but what I saw makes me believe that at least a weak tornado could have been possible.
