Nice pic... I'm sure you know that in the American Mid West... 'The Square Cloud' phenomenon is a precursor to weather patterns that create killer tornadoes.... Looks like poor Barra Best has got the weather prediction for tomorrow wrong again  ;)

Erm...those big tall clouds are usually called cumulonimbus I think,pilots try to avoid them because they are full of nasty weather.


Some very spectacular local weather shots on this website,for those who might be interested http://www.nightskyhunter.com/index.html
