    People in the areas of Northeast Ohio had an oppurtunity to witness a large, rotating storm known as a Mesocyclone on Thursday which left behind a path of damage.

    The thunderstorm is rotating, and as the winds pull the clouds around they take on a layered look. The mesocyclone rotation is much larger than the rotation of a smaller, but stronger, cyclone that can come from it: a tornado.

    Storms like these are rare in the area and are more typically seen in supercell thunderstorms in the Plains states. (source)

According to the Sapporo Meteorological Observatory, these low-altitude stratocumulus clouds were rolled into long, distinctive ribbons after becoming trapped in air currents. While it is not uncommon for wind to form such patterns in stratocumulus clouds, photos that clearly show the clouds rolled into strips are rare, says the observatory.
