On the 18th of July, my family and I were on our dock on the side of Barndoor that faces the broads. We all witnessed the updraft happen on the Guilford side of the rear of Rattlesnake Island. The cloud cover was hanging low over one of the coves southeast of Ames farm and shot straight up into the sky like smoke from a hot fire. Then we saw the infamous fingers drop down but were not rotating at all. The front rolled over our heads looking like a wave in heavy surf but rolling up and back into itself. At that point we ran like hell and got to a safe spot. Nothing like the fury of Mother nature.
