– I have lived in this place since my birth. I don't remember ever seeing something similar in our region. The passage of the squall shaft itself lasted maybe five minutes, I was surprised how high the speed of this cloud moves. The storm that appeared a moment later lasted three hours and was accompanied by numerous atmospheric display. The thunder was very loud – said Mr. Jarosław.

The squall shaft is a low, extensive cloud, which often takes the shape of a vast, cutting of the sky. The appearance of this phenomenon announces the imminent strikes of strong wind – i.e. squall – and heavy rainfall.
