As the outflow/shelf cloud from the severe storm in Walker county crossed the Walker/Jefferson County line here at Bluff Creek on the Warrior River, some amazing pictures including a small waterspout (there were two, both upriver, and the boathouse was between me and them, but I got a screen cap from a movie that shows it). NOT A TORNADO, just a whirling wind column likely created by topography on the lake, etc.

The winds were probably 40-50 mph. The shelf cloud was very turbulent. Check out more pictures below.
