Rare 'Horseshoe Vortex Cloud' Photographed by Storm Chaser in Mississippi

A storm chaser in Mississippi managed to snap a photo of an incredibly rare and truly strange-looking weather phenomenon known as a 'Horseshoe Vortex Cloud.' The wondrous image (seen below) was reportedly captured by Stan Dorroh as he was passing through the community of Starkville last Tuesday evening. Keeping an eye on the sky as he drove, the seasoned storm chaser was stunned when he saw the remarkable meteorological formation overhead and quickly stopped his car to snap a picture. Dorroh's fast action was particularly fortuitous, he explained, since "the cloud dissipated probably less than a minute after I took the picture" and marveled that "it was gone" before he could even post the photo on social media.
