Roll Cloud Rollin' on Through...

This roll cloud was seen from Noelridge Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Sunday morning, August 7, 2022, north of my position and moving toward me to the south. Roll clouds and shelf clouds are closely related, as they are both found near the leading edge of thunderstorms and form when relatively cool air from the storm's downdraft, moves ahead into warm, moist air that's feeding the storm. The difference between the two is that roll clouds are detached from the parent storm. The image above looks due north at 8:03 am CDT.
