pretty

[Dyne]

Wow, neat. I didn't know they existed.

[KillerGremlin]

beautiful, yes

but i think sublime is a better way to describe them

[GameMaster]

Am I the only one who thinks they're creepy looking?

Good stuff. I've seen those types of clouds once in person about 5 years ago I believe. Was at grandma's house at the time and stepped outside and saw those types of clouds above me. It was pretty surreal since they look like something hellish is about to come, but yet its already passed by the time these show up.

I wish I could see those.:(

[KillerGremlin]

those things go hand in hands with tornadoes and thunderstorms, although they have been known to show up miles away from the actual storm

Ive seen them. Im guessing they are more common in the midwest.

they look like clouds out of a mario game

The first one reminds me of 'The Nothing' on The Never Ending Story
The second like the fingertips of a giant hand just starting to press through.
The third looks like teeth.
Then we are back to 'The Nothing' again

They look cool. Dont get clouds like that where I live in England. Plenty of Cumulo Nimbus though.

I agree aswell though, they are a little strange too. Especially the ones that look like 'The Nothing' if I saw that sh!t coming towards me I would run like the clappers.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like the intro to the neverending story.
