I hate to be nerdy about this. But I believe this is a perfect example of what are known as "mammatus" cloud formations. They are strong cumulonimbus clouds that have appendages protruding from the base of the cloud, they are called "mammatus" because funnily enough, they look like the mammary glands of mammals. Here's an example...

look it up if ya don't believe me!!

@Kimk - you should send your photo to a couple of meteorology websites, thats a cracking photo you've got there...

it looks faker than hell but i myself have seen clouds like this (i saw them during a tornado warning a couple years back...luckily it was a funnel that eventually went away and did not touch down) its the wierdest thing if you actually see them in person

An aerial? What is that?

Mon Jun 07, 2004 1:39 pm by freighter fighter

you see them every day, its how you listen to the radio or tv.

or to put it another way:

n. (âr-l)
A radio antenna, especially one suspended in or extending into the air.

The photo has been doctored... *shakes head* and they say I'm paranoid!

@gow, i can't send it off to some meteorology site, cause the pic's copyrighted, remember? i need to get permission and all that hassle.

Of course I read it Grom, but the guys around here would rather spout conspiracy theories (ie. NASA doctoring meteorological photos), that=n believe you

Couldn't help but giggle, I should probably go to bed. I'm seeing scarey things now. :-)
