It looks like an outtake from a disaster movie, but this is real.

2. We had one roll in pretty fast yesterday. It caught my son out on the water in a boat and

he was stuck there for the duration.

3. Storm scene from Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes

Or just a typical afternoon weather change in Texas.

9. Can anyone say front?

It was 73 in Helsinki with no precipitation. I wonder when and where the video was taken.

10. I just got back from two weeks of storm chasing

This is a bow echo in a squall line, kicking up a nice shelf cloud in front of it. A few more minutes and no one is going to want to be anywhere near that beach. We came across a supercell thunderstorm in Moorcroft, WY that overtook us very quickly and we barely escaped...we got the tennis-ball hail, but Moorcroft got pounded with baseball to softball sized hail that unfortunately did damage.

11. That's why they need fins on land in Finland.

But storms sometimes move in very rapidly in the U.S., too -- particularly tornadoes in Tornado Alley.

12. Looks like a Derecho

The baddest badass of severe storms:

The do more widespread damage than tornados

13. wow..

After seeing that SF weather is so boring!

[Stumbler]

14. Damn. Looks apocalyptic

I suspect fast-moving storms like this will become the norm as our atmosphere continues heating up...

[MadBadger]

15. Is the independence day Alien space ship going to come out of those clouds?
