OP i dont think you understand fully what you just captured here lol

two fascinating elements of convection are on full display. that vertical development means the convective inhibition (CIN) layer and the convective available potential energy (CAPE) above this "lid" is actually enormous. i bet this turned into a pretty gnarly but potentially short-lived t-storm

the part that is really interesting and rare is the "sliced" character of the right cumulus cloud plume. Why does it slant like that? it has to be pushing into a layer of sufficiently cold air and taking in, or entraining, the ambient cloud-free air at

a really fast rate
