1. No place "does" weather, like Kansas

Free "fireworks shows" most summer evenings too

9. Oklahoma gives it a run for its money...

I thought mammatus clouds only existed in the movies. Nope, they're real. And they're spectacular.

10. panhandle of texas does some amazing things also. truly is awesome, some of the cloud

formation we see here. i am from calif, and had never experienced. the one thing i can say about this area, is the sky is like no other place i have seen.

21. Yep.. people out here don;t understand what I mean when I say the sky can be yellow-green

but during tornado season, sometimes that sky-color was all you needed to see, to start for the basement:scared:

26. that is the truth.

the sky here is beautiful in the spring.

2. If I didn't know any better...

I'd say it was 'shopped.

It looks like water's about to crash over the University!

3. If you look at the people in the picture

they are pretty much all looking at it also

4. It's a cold front with a clearly defined inversion.

5. I wonder how many of them thought it "might" be the Rapture?

Just sayin'. . .

8. If I saw that sky I might think so!

Scary!

15. If they've been in Kansas for any length of time at all, they have probably

seen similar skies before. I grew up in SW Missouri, about 3 miles from the Kansas border. We got some wicked weather blowing in out of Kansas.

6. One of the scariest storms I was ever in was in Kansas.

We were passing through during a move from Colorado to the east coast.

No tornados (that I know of), but holy cow, a heck of a thunderstorm! It felt and sounded like the end of the world.

7. And advertising at the bottom of your post!

11. We get a bunch of SLC's (Scary Looking Clouds) here in Kansas,

Every year...



This was taken out the side window of the truck I used to drive,Just off of U.S.160 outside of Protection Ks in '07.

That dark spot on the lower left horizon is a house and barn.

12. There's an alien spaceship above those clouds.

Seriously, why is everyone just standing around outdoors when the sky is lookin' like that?

20. This might be during the break in the FB game on Saturday.

The game had to be delayed until the thunderstorm passed because of the danger from lightning. An hour and a half later the game resumed. I don't know that this is the cause, but the picture is taken from inside the FB stadium I believe.

13. When you see shit like that nothing good is about to happen.

[-..__...]

14. That cloud should be the least of their worries...

[ensho]

16. I wouldn't be standing there looking at it, I'd be running for cover

wow

[Barack_America]

17. Or you'd be blown away in a minute or so.

Clouds like that mean "energy" and "wind".

[Jamastiene]

18. I could see it now.

Me, running inside and down to the lowest level, cowering in the fetal position, freaking out...and everyone else laughing their asses off at me.

:scared:

19. I was in Kansas for a conference some years ago

And saw something very similar to that as the sun set. As the evening sky darkened, the cloud formation (which thankfully passed by us by several miles) was lit up internally by lightning strokes. An incredible show, to be sure. It reminded me of the nebula formation from Star Trek II, when the Enterprise is trying to get away from Khan and his commandeered vessel.

22. Dorthy is coming back.

23. There's no place like home, there's no place like home.....
