We had a pretty strong thunderstorm move in the other day while I was at work, and I thought I'd try a few window shots as it approached.  The storm had passed through Detroit a short while earlier causing two DC-9's and a CRJ to divert here while Detroit cleared up.
The storm came in quick and the wind kicked up all the dust from the construction site by the firehouse where they are building a new holding pad.  At the same time it became very dark...and then the rain came!
I thought these shots might give you a different perspective as to what it looks like when these things come in.  Enjoy!

Was that a wall cloud in those first few shots?

That's the night I went to the Indians game.  That was the only time I didn't mean to be late for something and it turned out it was a good thing because there was a rain delay :)

@YakC130...  I think those first few shots show a gust front (ahead of the storm) rather than a wall cloud.

That's it. Wall cloud was all I could think of.
