Now This is A Storm Cloud!

Now This is A Storm Cloud!
Eye of the storm: The jaw-dropping image of an enormous 'supercell' cloud

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 4:29 PM on 2nd December 2010

It looks like something from the film Independence Day.

But although it may seem like an alien mothership, this incredible picture is actually an impressive thunderstorm cloud known as a supercell.

Windswept dust and rain dominate the storm's centre while rings of jagged clouds surround the edge.

A flimsy tree in the foreground looks like a toy next to the magnificent natural phenomenon.

If that tree could shit itself, it would.

That is one brutal supercell. It belongs in the mothership category. Smile
