1. Line of building towers flanking 

from a thunderstorm. 

2.      Sun setting behind cumulus clouds. 

3. Cloud to cloud to ground lightning. 

4.  Mammatus "clouds boiling upside 

down", on top of a flanking down draft. 

Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus 

(meaning "mammary cloud"), 

is a meteorological term applied to a cellular 

pattern of pouches hanging 

underneath the base of a cloud. 

5.      Massive single cell 

severe tornadic thunderstorm. 

6.  Downdraft of precipitation 

from a young cumulonimbus cloud. 

The initial downrush happening as the 

rest of cell is still forming and building. 

7.  Leading edge of a flanking 

downdraft of a thunderstorm. 

8.      Another great mammatus

– extremely unstable air. 

9.  Sunset on dissipating thunderstorms. Rare,

Could have two cells rotating in opposite directions, 

but meteorologically possible, like two egg beaters. 

10.  Sunset dissipating thunderstorm. 

11.  Volcanic eruption creating 

a circular outflow boundary. 

12.  Somewhat disorganized 

or dissipating thunderstorm. 

Most of it already downward collapsed 

with the rain shield being dominant. 

13.  Single cell thunderstorm with cloud 

to ground and cloud to cloud lightning, 

some being imbedded inside the cells. 

14.  Tornadic vortex w/lightning, 

multi-layer outflow boundaries. 

15.  Row of thunderstorms, and more beautiful 

cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning. 

16.  Cloud to ground lightning in the 

rain shield in dissipating thunderstorms. 

17.  Single cell "super cell 

thunderstorm with mammatus. 

18.  More great cloud to cloud 

and cloud to ground lightning. 

19.  Tower cumulus building into a thunderstorm. 

20.  A tornado funnel near the ground. 

Probably already on the ground, but

not enough moisture or debris/

dirt to see it on the ground. 

Surface dirt starting the kick up. 

21.  Circular outflow boundaries 

with storm cell rotation. 

22.  Lowering wall cloud 

from mature thunderstorm. 

23.  Lots of cloud to ground lightning 

(assuming the dark is mountains). 

24.  A large tornado on the ground.
