This is a very ragged shelf cloud. These clouds represent the leading edge of the outflow into the storm (which I’m assuming was right over you). Very cool shot because generally if a storm is strong enough to produce a shelf cloud, it’s strong enough to be very consolidated.
I do atmospheric science so please feel free to drop any questions you have about clouds or the atmosphere
Edit: shelf clouds form on the outflow, not the inflow. Oops!
