Photos: Funnel Cloud In Walnut Hill?

June 5, 2012

NorthEscambia.com took this series of shots about 3:30 Tuesday afternoon in Walnut Hill. A forecaster at the National Weather Service in Mobile says what is in the photos could be a weak funnel cloud, but there was not enough wind shear at the time to have supported an actual tornado.

The rotating funnel shaped cloud in the photos twisted and lifted up and down a  few times over about a 30 second period. Small pea size hail was also reported in the area at the time.

The photos were taken in the area of Ernest Ward Middle School on Highway 97.
