ILLINOIS -- Chicken Little once complained of the sky falling, and maybe he was right.
An incredible video of a shelf cloud swept the internet in recent days as a strong system moved through Tuesday in the town of Anna, Illinois.
Shelf clouds are usually associated with an approaching thunderstorm or cold front and once they pass overhead, the wind picks up and temperatures fall. Benefield wrote that's what happened when it blew over her location.
"This has to be one of the craziest shelf clouds I have ever seen," 10Weather meteorologist Grant Gilmore said. "That said, just because it looks ominous doesn't necessarily mean the weather associated with it was severe. In fact, the fractured nature of the leading clouds suggests the storm may have been weakening."
