THIS IS NOT A JOKE!

[Guest [+30]PuddyTat]

this is a picture taken of an actual cloud over lusk, wyoming two days ago. it could be seen for miles. pretty cool huh?

 

[UNCLE-SID25]

wtf... cool in a nuclear, alien invasion, end of the world type of way... Yeah

[TOW-19]

There's some crazy shit going down in Wyoming.

That's just not natural.

[Guest [APC] 6ravity]

It is pretty cool...

 

But the mushroom like shape is "interesting"... I wonder if something like that happens naturally semi-often, if at all.

[TOW-19]

I don't believe it.

 

I need a scientific explanation.

Here is the science TOW,

Cumulonimbus Clouds

 

Cumulonimbus clouds are much larger and more vertically developed than cumulus clouds which form in a more stable atmosphere. They can exist as individual towers or form a line of towers called a squall line often present at cold fronts. Underneath they are dark and menacing. At a distance they rise up like huge white mountains when the Sun shines on them, and are commonly topped with anvil-shaped heads. Fuelled by vigorous convection of air in an unstable atmosphere the tops of cumulonimbus clouds can easily reach 12 km or higher. Lower levels of cumulonimbus clouds consist mostly of water droplets while at higher elevations, where temperatures are well below 0°C, ice crystals dominate.

 

During the formation of the larger cumulonimbus, condensation droplets are carried up and down several times within the convection currents inside the cloud before being released, coalescing to form raindrops. The more vigorous the thermal currents inside the cloud, the larger the raindrops which form. Light showers can fall form modest-sized "cauliflower" clouds whilst the larger cumulonimbus clouds can produce heavy downpours. The largest cumulonimbus clouds of all are found in thunderstorms. In these clouds up-currents are so severe that splitting of raindrops and ice crystals can occur before re-coalescing and falling to the ground. It is believed that this may contribute to the build up of electric charge and the occurrence of lightning.

And now I am appeased. ;D

[o-BacklasH-o]

Bad ass!

[Guest [APC] 6ravity]

Good luck trying to sell a house in that area, anytime soon, btw.

 

LOL.

this is pretty common around wyoming, just not on this grand of scale. we see lots of small clouds with flat tops that look like they are "pusshing" up against something. they are pretty cool. ill see if i can find some of my older cloud pics.

[UNCLE-SID25]

Here are some cool ones I found when checkin puddys cloud out:

 

These are all real clouds.

 

 

 

[[RIP]saint52]

Did you take that pic? Cause if you did'nt, I dont believe thats real.....Look at the light structure....the light does not blend....but hey if OJ got off, anythings possible ;D

[Guest [iLL] Andawg]

Light doesn't bend, but when it passes through a prism of some sort, i.e. a drop of water it refracts. And just checking, isn't there water in clouds? lol, j/k

 

The clouds are in a pattern similar to super large bubble wrap, and the sunlight is at an angle that it just hits the crowns of the bumps. Giving you the shadows, and that "bending" effect you're seeing.

I think it's God's way of telling us we all need to eat a little more Tapioca pudding.

:-\ lol

And now I am appeased.   ;D

 

LMAO. Thats funny shit. Sweet picture though.

[Guest SaTAnS_SoUlJa]

Did anyone from Wyoming actually see this cloud though? i mean any of you guys

[Guest KingJunk]

I think UnderTow finally got some of you know what and he just exploded!! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh 30+ years of holding all that in wow what a blast Tow!

 

LMAO

[STREETSWEEPR1]

you just can not doubt or argue with mother nature ....she can do anything and i mqean anything...evr heard of a mege tsunami....500 foot waves(discovery channels baby)anything is possible...

 

damn cloud haters....lmfao

[UNCLE-SID25]

IT IS REAL. LOOK IT UP- I did, posted results...
