Thanks to James Cain for these images… he writes:

“I snapped these right after takeoff from Tuscaloosa. I was struck by what looked like a funnel cloud over west hwy 82. It was a cloud formation that touched the ground; it was on the northwest edge of the squall line that came through Tuscaloosa at 6:45. The last picture is the rain shaft that followed that cloud formation.
Thanks,
James”
