Shirley Martin
I know this is a strange title, but I really couldn’t think of a better one. We saw this strange, beautiful, scary cloud formation when we were camping in Ogallala, NE (on our month-long, follow the Oregon Trail trip) in June 2010. We had gone through so much bad weather that, at one point, we seriously considered abandoning this trip and going home. But we persevered, and only experienced a few more minor weather conditions.
It wasn’t until I got home that I found out this cloud is called a cumulonimbus cloud and can produce some very severe weather such as tornadoes and hailstorms. I’m so glad I didn’t know that when I was standing there just ecstatic over such a beautiful heavenly sight! I might not have been so appreciative of its beauty.
Thank you! I’ve never seen weather patterns like what we saw in Nebraska that year. The sky is so open! Living in the south, trees block out any sense of space. It was such an experience, and I’m so glad I saw this particular cloud formation. It was awesome!

What cool photos!! I think your title is perfect. When you’re on the plains it is amazing what the sky can look like; you captured a perfect moment!

You got some really gorgeous shots!
Very cool photos! I LOVE weather and this is awesome! Great title!
Thank you so much! I debated whether (play on words?) this title was just too technical. ☺️
Such a gorgeous photo, that cloud is awe inspiring! I love your title and your front and center presentation.
Thank you so much, Janet!
