Daniel Blake Fitzhugh, a Mississippi resident used a phone to take pictures. A cloud of clouds or a roll of clouds seems endless, low clouds form on the sea or next to a thunderstorm. Fitzhugh sent a photo and video to LiveScience after watching the news of the cloud rolling near the Brazilian coast.

Fitzhugh told LiveScience : "I filmed and photographed cloud rolls in Richland, Mississippi in 2010".

He added: "That day was cloudy and windy all day. I was going north and the cloud moved from west to east. I was surprised because I had never seen a cloud like it before. Clouds roll like a horizontal tornado ".

In fact, cloud rolls are formed in a place where cold air is pushed down, a warm, moist air stream rises and a cool temperature causes condensation to form clouds. And the wind creates strange curling effects. The big difference between the cloud shelf and the cloud roll is that the rattan shelf appears with the storm and the cloud roll does not.

Tornadoes are extremely powerful swirling air columns, they appear due to thunderstorms. However, these clouds are not as dangerous as tornadoes.

Rattan rarely occurs but near the coast of Queensland, Australia is the best place to witness it. The sea breeze often forms famous clouds of clouds, named Morning Glory during the fall. Morning Glory is up to 1,000km long, 1 to 2km high and can reach a travel speed of 60km / h.
