You should submit the shot to your local station.
That's a fascinating formation.

Some 3 point wind convergent going on there David, where moist air congregate to feed the mid level moisture layer, though a dry layer in-between is evaporating it before it makes a visible low feeding updraft. may have become more intense as time went on tho moved away from line of sight by then, or it may have just collapsed ?
Very keool formation tho, Storm chasers would be interested in it also as it is quite unique indeed
Great Catch

Great shots David.

I wouldn't want to be standing under that cloud when it drops its bundle.

Nice capture David. Gotta love the show that clouds put on somedays.
The larger cloudscape is my favourite here.
Well Done - Trev
