It's the 100th anniversary of a The Regina Cyclone... an F4 level tornado that almost destroyed the entire city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_Cyclone
The deadliest tornado in Canadian history.
And it's PERFECT weather for a tornado tonight.
Luckily, there was no tornado.
But there was this.
This is not photoshop. That's what the clouds look like outside right now.

Those are mammatus clouds. Usually when you see those the worst of a storm is past. They usually show up on the backside of the thunderstorm.

I've stood outside during a tornado before. Remember the one on the news that almost destroyed Joplin, MO? It hit Oklahoma first, and my friends and I were holding a Con at the time. It passed right over our campsite, giving us five straight days of rain before hand, and one helluva view when it passed overhead. Most of the attendees were huddled inside the dining hall, but a few of us were outside watching the clouds swirl as they passed. It hit a half-mile outside our camp.
I was out hiking around Robber's Cave State Park before then, and got back not ten minutes before it hit. Best con experience EVAR.

That's the most amazing pic of mammatii I've ever seen. You should submit that to http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/

Holy Christ! You are SO fortunate a tornado didn't form. That would just about scare me to death. I've NEVER seen clouds like that; you should be sending this to weather sites all over the world, they would love to have this - some might even pay you for allowing them to use it. *^^*
