Neat! I’ve had ‘shelf clouds,’ which are the younger sibling to these, over my Back Forty. Simply amazing to see! :)

I don’t know. For some reason, that photo reminds me of the time when Brenda and I were in the cab of the pickup after the dance and she wanted to show me her nimbus.

There are myriad examples of just such weird cloud formations.
Do Google Image Search "weird cloud formations"

The first time I saw one of these in Atlantic City, NJ, I thought all hell was going to break loose...scared the wits out of me, as I was driving along the shore line at the time.

Cloud formation over Wisconsin. Anybody know where? It’s just gry and drizzly here. No spectacular clouds in sight.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest png list.

Cumulo nimbus mammatus, I presume, and a most unusual display.

Would be a scary sight!

Saw one of these once when I was in CO. Very impressive and scary.
To: SunkenCiv
It's actually 'wormhole'.
Don't those people know ANYTHING?

Totally awesome! I was just thinking yesterday how clouds are like snowflakes, no two alike. I don’t get out much beyond my back porch. Wonderful clouds this summer.

Cool pic!
Throw in a bunch of sharks & it would look like a tsunami scene from a bad sci-fi flick ....

The first photo is of lenticular clouds. The second is mammatus. Mammatus clouds usually follow a thunderstorm and are full of moisture.

LOL. Well, that’s not exactly “breaking news”, is it?
