there was one just like this in summer, except it was more twisted, like a funnel.

The roll cloud this morning was associated with a pressure system moving across the state during the morning, bringing thunderstorms. They are sometimes an indication of severe thunderstorms. Another system during the afternoon produced similar cloud features on thunderstorms, particularly further east of Warrnambool around Timboon.

all credit to the photographer for a great wide-angle shot. maybe you could put his/her name credit under the photo. Is it too late to submit it to ABC-TV evening news, to feature it on their 7.25pm weather bulletin?
