GOES-13 Visible Imagery (0.63 µm) and surface reports [click to enlarge]
Visible Imagery over the Gulf of Mexico on 28 December 2015 revealed the presence of a Rope Cloud. Rope Clouds are handy features in satellite imagery because they reveal the location of the surface cold front, and the animation above shows wind shifts from southerly to westerly as the Rope Cloud moves past.
Visible imagery from just after sunrise, below, show long shadows cast by individual towers along the Rope Cloud. The shadows shorten quickly as the sun rises in the sky. Infrared imagery (Link) shows the towers as well, indicated with cooler brightness temperatures.
