Drone Captures Huge Swirling Cloud Formation in Louisiana

An ominous swirling cloud formed above Marion, Louisiana, on May 2 as the National Weather Service warned residents of expected severe weather.

Local resident Caden Strother captured drone footage of the weather system as it grew larger against a darkened sky.

Strother noted that the cloud “just dropped a little bit of rain but had a huge rotating structure” in his Instagram upload. Credit: Caden Strother via Storyful
