Today I captured this absolutely amazing looking bow echo storm that transformed into a, well quite frankly I have no idea what you would consider this. This looks more like a major rain wrap around a low pressure system, or even to a degree like a hurricane. Take a look at this crazy storm. This thing could still be considered a derecho event too as it was putting out very impressive winds, several tornado reports and hail.
