A low-precipitation (LP) supercell, which is a highly-sheared rotating thunderstorm that produces minimal rain, but can generate large hailstones and occasional tornadoes, is characterized by a highly visible updraft tower and is often bell-shaped. This classic example was spotted and followed by Jonah from New Mexico to Texas, with this photograph being taken near Dalhart, Texas, US.

Thanks, kindly, Mike.
I will keep a keen eye out ready to see more photographic marvels from you and your beloved camera.
Your photography appeals to me very much. You certainly know how to take a captivating scene.
Best wishes.
Laurence
Laurence as ever thank you for you kind comments. I had a couple of weeks with my family in Cocoa Beach Florida recently and the second week was a feast of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This one shows the cloud under lit by the sun just above the horizon. One a little later showed the same cloud under lit when the sun was above the cloud by bouncing off a relatively calm sea. Others which I sent to the CAS I hope get posted in due course as some are in my view incredible, Not necessarily my photo/composition but what Mother Nature served up. I just hope my recording of it is also good. Thanks again.
As ever from you, Mike, a brilliant shot!
Faultless would be an understatement!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful image. Good man!
Laurence
