Reader Catches Wednesday Funnel Cloud Photos

August 24, 2017

A NorthEscambia.com reader submitted these photos showing an apparent funnel cloud near Butler Street and I-65 northeast of Atmore Wednesday afternoon.

The National Weather Service in Mobile said radar showed no indication of rotation in the storms that were in that area at the time and that Wednesday’s environment was not conducive for tornadoes.

But based upon the photo and a detailed description from Mike Myrick, the photographer, the National Weather Service determined that this was likely a brief funnel cloud.
