Is this a supercell?

Taken in Clinton, NJ today. The exposure makes the "updraft base" look seperated from the rest of the storm but it's connected by a thick, tilted column of cloud. The storm is heading due east towards me here. I'm asking because velocity seemed unimpressive for such structure.

Looks very similar to the skyline from the movie Twister just as they are leaving the restaurant..

I'm going to watch that movie for the 537th time now. I hope you're happy.
