<div class="IPBDescription">storm system through NE last summer</div> <img src='http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/hPICT0033a.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

<a href='http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/june2004hastings-mammatus.html' target='_blank'>http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/june2004...s-mammatus.html</a>

This was as a large storm system moved through south central nebraska last summer. I've seen stuff like this on occasion back home, and it makes for a little unsettling feeling. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Also check out the two Summer links below the photos: The June 10th stuff was from western Nebraska and I think was while my wife was driving back home for our wedding (which was in western NE). The June 12th stuff I watched form from my apartment in north lincoln, though most of the action was to the east of where I could see.

This all took place just a couple weeks after this:

<a href='http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/may22-2004tornado-damage-1.html' target='_blank'>http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/may22-20...o-damage-1.html</a> (1-4.html)

in which a rural school was heavily damaged (I performed numerous times on that stage during high school, eep!) and a small town wiped off the map. Needless to say having similar storms over Lincoln was a little unsettling. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That's almost unreal!
    Someone else posted something like this a while back, I never even knew about them until then.

    Looks like something from ghostbusters <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Wow. Just. Wow.

    I would love to see something like that in real life. I have a love for the clouds and stormy weather. That would be really something beautiful and awe inspiring to see in real life.

    Nice KFS, those clouds to signify a very possible potential for VERY DAMAGING rain/hail/tornados... etc. :-)

    Quite pretty too.

    Yeah when I'm home I live in Columbus, NE north west of Lincoln. We get clouds like that all the time during the summer. Kinda creepy cause you know the weather that's coming.

    Those don't look like clouds, and definitely don't look natural.

    I'm glad I've never seen any of them....

    This is about as "dangerous" as the clouds in my area can get.

    For a second I thought you were just reposting the clouds from mine, but they aren't the same D:

    Probably the coolest thing I've seen to do with storms is when I lived around the Des Moines (central Iowa) area with my parents for a few months before coming where I am now at teh uni. During the summer freaking HUGE storm clouds would develop, and if they were a few miles off from you, you could see lightning bolts <i>inside</i> the clouds. Very cool.
