These are scud clouds captured in South Carolina!
SCUD clouds may look like funnel clouds, but they actually form much differently. They form in areas of increased relative humidity as air rises in a thunderstorm. The term SCUD is actually an acronym standing for “Scattered Cumulus Under Deck”.
While they look ominous, SCUD clouds are harmless and do not produce severe weather.
