Description from OK Jacki: Wall cloud - this is what you never want to see on a spring evening in the midwest. Out of that 'straight' bottom of the cloud is where the tornadoes originate. The sky is grey to black to green to brown - with flashes of lighting. Nature is a powerful thing. "I are a 'fraid-ey cat"

Deco Chick Elaine says:I can identify with this one – a frightening sight… When the sky turns that greenish color, it’s time to head for the basement. This pick is so real looking, it’s scary…. but I’m OK with it :>)

puppychick labratbecky says:Someone took a picture of one of those hanging over the Twin Cities just this last weekend and it made the news. My dog spent that night sleeping in my bedroom closet because he knew how scarey it was. I think these are both terrifying and mesmerizing. Your pick is perfect! and I bet you had some in OK at the same time that we had them.
