      The photo above shows a classic  precipitation shaft from a   
       strong storm cell as observed from near the Gandy Bridge in St.   
      Petersburg, Florida. While it seems that a leak developed in the cloud   
      allowing water to pour out, in actuality, rain is being pushed   
      groundward by a  downdraft generated by the storm. Well-defined   
      shafts such as this may be an indication of a  microburst. No   
      significant damage was reported from this storm. Photo taken with a   
      p30pro cellphone on May 30, 2022.
