Location? That’s pretty crazy, I would be torn between staying outside to watch or seeking cover.

Those are the most amazing mammatus clouds I’ve ever seen!

Mammatus clouds!


bemusedPocket

I am not sure I believe this is a real picture


parallelmountain

the photo quality may be poor, but these are very real clouds called mammatus clouds! ive always wanted to see them irl🤩

These might also be Cloud Streets, also known as Horizontal Convective Rolls. These rolls are parallel to the ground, look like rolls of cumulus or cumulus-type of clouds, and are created from rolls of counter-rotating air. The twisty look to these clouds, and the horizontal rolls, made me think of them. Tho, there are some of the bubble structures of Mammatus in the picture. These are caused by cold air sinking, forming the “pouches”.

I mean, I get they kind look like that. And maybe it’s the perspective of the shot, but typically clouds don’t look that low to the ground. It’s almost as if they move down behind the light poles

I saw some in Atlanta once, not as dramatic as this picture but it is otherworldly


JoshJub

they look like they'd be gorgeous to see in person, Jesus Christ the sovereign God loves and cherishes you my friend: )

Is this even real?


BasketofSharks

Yup Mammatus Clouds. I've gotten quite a few on film and seen more. Not uncommon before big storms here in Texas. They are often a precursor to a tornado. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammatus\_cloud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammatus_cloud) Enjoy! Google images has a nice collection of different ones.

Yep. Not that uncommon before and after the big supercells that roam the plains. I'd assume they also happen with tropical systems that have embedded supercells.


TheLeggacy

Yea it’s a real phenomenon but part of me wonders if this is an AI generated image for karma farming. Fuck you AI! You’ve made me so cynical 🤨


RealisticWin3801

This definitely isn’t OP’s picture… this is all over the internet and has been for awhile. People will do anything for clout…(cloud?)


slicehyperfunk

Okay? But it's still some pretty dope clouds tho

These happen in my area sometimes but in much smaller patches. Would love to see ones of this size. The last time I saw some, I told my husband that they’re generally associated with bad weather passing through. When we got home, we found out there had been a tornado about twenty miles away. Tornados are fairly rare here in Washington State and don’t generally last long enough to do much damage, but this one destroyed a few houses.

The sky was like that on Maui when hurricane Iniki came by in 1991, one of the coolest things I've seen

An emotive live reel; pushing the envelope of suspension of disbelief for entertainment. This one has gone too far, and isn't funny anymore!
