Winds【B7】______the weird rolling effect. Their more commonly spotted cousins, shelf clouds, form on the leading edges of thunderstorms; while shelf clouds【B8】______the bulk of a storm, these tubular clouds aren’t.
    Tornadoes are also【B9】______storms when they occur. Unlike tornadoes, roll clouds aren’t dangerous.
