Nothing special. Not even warned. But a classic shelf cloud and I thought it was better than another thread on COVID, or whatever else crap is going on now.

I drove through it and had hail hit my car for about 5 minutes during the storm.

Where were you when you were in the hail? I didn't have any at my location, but kept expecting it.

I was on 55 just north of Grenada.

I love a shelf cloud. Makes me sort of understand the weather nerds and how they get into it.

Hey Vegas are you monitoring that cell about to hit Laurel? There is another one about 15 miles to the north of it. They have been moving due south for the last hour or so/

Nothing crazy... it's expanding a little behind the outflow boundary it's pushing out. a little lightning.. no hail indicated.. nothing to worry about
the stronger looking one up near union right now has a flash flooding warning on it.. possibly some small indicated in it.

But just summer thunderstorms.

Not really monitoring anything right now. Got called into work early and I'm neck deep in it now.

Shelf clouds are usually indicative of strong outflow in a thunderstorm. That nice cold gust of wind you get right before the bottom falls out. Now sometimes that outflow can be extremely strong winds, but this one maxed out at 42mph as it came over. Just enough to rock my truck a little and make my 10 year old son (Storm Chaser Jr) a little nervous as we were parked on an exit ramp with about a 30' hill out his window.

Dam storm is now developing a backdoor outflow boundary. Heads up DD you're about to get it/

We got hammered!!!!! Nothing to cause damage though. Just strong winds, awesome lightning, and heavy heavy rain. I almost drank a beer!!!

Well it got to the Coast and passed through here, Gulfpot/Biloxi, before I noticed. Hardly a sprinkle.
