Similar to the rain foot is a "dust foot," seen here spreading and curling upwards from left to right. An aircraft engaged in low-level operations should not venture into these rain or dust feet! Spotters should check out the area that has been affected (if possible) for any sign of damage. This was a multicell storm that also produced heavy rain and small hail.
