   Summary Author:  Stromy;  Jim Foster

   The photo above shows a classic  precipitation shaft from a
    strong storm cell as observed from near the Gandy Bridge in St.
   Petersburg, Florida. While it seems that a leak developed in the cloud
   allowing water to pour out, in actuality, rain is being pushed
   groundward by a  downdraft generated by the storm. Well-defined
   shafts such as this may be an indication of a  microburst. No
   significant damage was reported from this storm. Photo taken with a
   p30pro cellphone on May 30, 2022.


   St. Petersburg, Florida Coordinates: 27.7676, -82.6403
