We are sorry to have missed it! Yes........it is the most interesting cloud formation ever seen.

I was driving back to work from lunch (in Birmingham) and saw these on the ridge or Red Mountain. <br /><br />There were seven running down the ridge from left to right. They appeared to be perfectly shaped funnels (like cooking funnels) that were sucking the mist from the ground and trees and ejecting the misty-cloud out the top of the upside-down funnel.<br /><br />All seven looked exactly alike and shared the same mechanics (ie moving misty-cloudlike material from ground level and shooting it out of the top.<br /><br />I even called my wife (she works roughly underneath where this was happening) and she went out and looked at it. When I drove under it I could see the material moving up through the funnel.<br /><br />Have I said 'Amazing'?

The only K-H instability cloud pics I've ever seen besides these were ones that were corkscrews in the middle of the sky (which are pretty cool too). Nothing ever like this! You should look for images of mammatus and lenticular clouds too. Those are pretty impressive as well.Caseyhttp://gioscience.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-49513088719943992022011-12-17T15:55:46.009-06:002011-12-17T15:55:46.009-06:00Right you are!
