What's Going On Here? (thunderstorm)

[Convective]

Can anyone explain what is happening here? It doesn't look like a Cb cloud. The only thing I can think of is that there is a narrow layer of cool, dry air between warm, moist air underneath and above the cool, dry air causing a strong storm in such a narrow layer of air..?

Pass , but it looks impressive. Could it have been a result of forest fires? i.e. clouds inducing lightning from such an event.

A very different climate over there for requiring a storm to initiate but it does look very shallow too for a Cb.

Thats insane, and a bit annoying too, annoying because a little wimp of a CB( if it can be classed as a CB) can produce sferics, and here in blighty, especially the north west,a massive torrential shower cant even turn thundery thesedays, whats going on ?
