Photographer's Note
The photo depicts a powerful Shelf cloud on the edge of the incoming storm. A Shelf cloud is a low, horizontal, wedge-shaped arcus cloud. It usually appears on the leading edge of a storm.
Cool, sinking air from a storm cloud's downdraft spreads out across the land surface, with the leading edge called a gust front. This outflow cuts under warm air being drawn into the storm's updraft. As the lower cooler air lifts the warm moist air, its water condenses, creating a cloud which often rolls with the different winds above and below (wind shear).

The cloud formation looks formidable. The town looks aglow with diffused light falling on it. Wonderful image!
