I haven't seen the sat pics or radar, but if he is seeing it on the sat pic, it is called a convective tail. Jeanne pummelled (sp?) Puerto Rico with a convective tail, as that is where they got most of their rains.
Comma signatures on pre-Doppler radars were the only signs that a storm might have rotation, and the notice might be 5 minutes if that. They can have that appearance, although the best way to find one on radar is to look at the radial velocities within the storm.
Good night all, and please be safe.
