Next to my fascination with the world of creepy crawlies, is a fascination with extreme weather.
Something we don't experience too much of in the UK, but some of you guys from other parts of the world must have some amazing, or downright scary stories to tell.
Some pretty cool pics of what I'm talking about here.
We get the occasional tornado.
The worst part of the weather is how hot and humid it is.

It's pretty neat, but that's the one image I was really wondering about if it was manipulated somehow. And what the hell is that sun like thing glowing in the middle it.

Um, the sun???

Well it just looks a bit strange is all I'm saying.

Strange it definitely is.
Here's a sequence showing the build up. What I would give to see that stuff for real.
And if you think that's strange, what do you reckon to this phenomenon which took place in Iowa a couple of weeks ago.
Nice one DennisD, I'd love to see a gravity wave of that sort. I prefer to stay away from the tsunami sort .
Another, but not so natural, storm

Certainly unusual. I'd be interested in seeing what it looks like NOT speeded up though, wonder if anyone would even notice it at normal speed.

That was so impressive, I didn't notice the car until the end.
Well, gotta put my taxi driver head on now and pick the kids (big kids) up from Newcastle.
Hi Dennis,check out this weird cloud formation that happens occassionally over here in Australia.

The Gulf is home to the extraordinary meteorological phenomenon, the Morning Glory Cloud. One kilometre high stretching from horizon to horizon the "Glory" is a shockwave in the atmosphere of immense proportions

That's the least of the weird things to take place in Iowa, I should know I'm Iowan. What JDPower stated about wanting to see it at normal speed does also make me wonder if normal folk would even notice it when it isn't sped up.

That's an amazing site Humpty, from above and below. Makes you wonder what the ancients would have thought of that. It looks pretty scary even when you know it's a natural phenomenon.

I knew that.
Thought you would appreciate it, and the answer to you and JDs observation, yes, I think you would notice that cloud formation. That undulating shape is pretty unusual.
Just think of some of the cool stuff we would miss if not for time lapse photography.
And can I tell you something that really makes me chuckle?
I think we now have an international band of cloud watchers.
Before you know it, you'll catch yourself looking to the heavens, (with everyone around you wondering what the hell you're looking at), and quietly cursing me under your breath.
Looking forward to your pictures.
