i still have this satellite picture of some clouds over the ocean that look like fish and whatnot, its pretty crazy...

the top right picture is magnified from the highlighted circle...you can see two dolphins, the eye and the flippers and even the whole body of the first dolphin in front of the second one...and it even looks like theres a little backround for em too...i thought it was a texture map at first and someone snuck it in there, but when i looked i seen it was an actual high-resolution satellite photo...

The right side of that tower looks like it's flipping me off. About an hour later I get a ticket for not coming to a complete stop(even though I'm 100% certain I did, since the cop was right in front of me going east, waiting to turn left and come north towards me...I stopped and went...prick). I still feel like the clouds are flipping me off.

Mother nature was really "flexing her muscles" on May 23 2004.

Ironically enough, the supercell that originated from that area of cu did go on to produce a large tornado.

I still feel like the clouds are flipping me off.
Now come on Mike...who flipped off who first? I have flipped off and cussed at quite a few storms myself.

and more recently a ghostly face appeared in this this fallstreak:

3/11/06 in Southern Oklahoma waiting for the cap to break with Mike Deason, Darin Brunin and Tony Laubach. It never did, during the day. We had a good laugh about it, Mother Nature even has a sense of humor sometimes.

Mother Nature Showed us one of her Shoes in Colorado in May 07

[Doug Lee]

For some time now I have thought there ought to be a new classification of clouds for those that have shapes resembling other objects: cumulus suggestus.

June 14th 2007, North Dakota. They breed big, plump, towering turkeys up there.

On august 3rd Mother Nature gave me da finger!

mother nature seems to have a bad attitude giving all of us the bird.

This was in SW Kansas on September 16, 2006. I'm sure a few of you have seen this already. (PG-13 material)

One of the Best ones is the Picture of Mike H's at the top of this screen, looks like a Wicked Witch Face to me :eek:

[Dan Robinson]

I've seen shapes in the lightning a few times.

Coffee Mug:
http://stormhighway.com/july3099d.shtml

When I was 5 or 6 years old, I saw a lightning bolt with a loop shaped like George Washington's head and subsequently used to look out for 'George Washington lightning'.

[jeremy wilson]

kinda blurry (like the bigfoot videos) but looks like a freaky head coming out of the shelf cloud.

[Matthew Fischer]

I'll you decide what you see. But i see a guy laying down.

I see one other poster used a satellite shot, so here is another: a tropical disturbance north of Puerto Rico in 1982 very much resembled a past American President, Tricky Dick.

And a cloud picture I call "collapsing twin towers."

Wow, that "turkey tower" is sweet! And the link you provided (http://members.aol.com/dryliner/wrysky.html) has some unbelievable (maybe they aren't real..anyone know for sure?) pictures of tornadoes roping out that I have never seen before.

and the picture from the post above that (collapsing twin towers) reminded me of another one I had:

With the same copyright on all three of those, I'm seriously doubting the authenticity. Nice digital editing, though. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

[Howard Kirby]

This one was amusing..taken on a mobile so its very small...

Mmmmm I agree..That shape is not adequate with the theories of tornadoes forming..As to me it's fairly impossibile to have a similar shape even when the tornado is roping: to have a tornado like that, the storm, while the tornadic strucure is roping, should go ahead, then come back, and the come back another time and so on, and I think this is not possible in nature.

[Dann Cianca]

I hadn't noticed this until one of my coworkers pointed it out...

The nose is in the very center of the photo and the face is slanted with the eyes on the upper left (all within the shelf).

[Dave Nelson]

Hi Gang,
my contribution comes from an Australian composite satellite/synoptic
map I saved several years ago
see the cool dude in the upper left area with the dark sunnies, big nose and cigarette in mouth :)

[Dan Robinson]

I'm either tired tonight or just too left or right brained, but I'm not seeing anything in half of the photos on here. Maybe us Rorschach-impaired need some more clues.
