Amazing cloud

Postby Romulus111VADT » Sat Sep 03, 2011 10:02 am

This is widely seen on the Internet and is commonly said to be a shelf cloud produced by Hurricane Irene as it approached the North Carolina coast. I have no idea who took the picture and I'm unable to track down which site originated the picture. It's all over Facebook.

If anyone knows who the credit for the photo should go to, please feel free to let everyone know.

That looks like a capsized boat from underwater :o
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
