    ..in west Texas, storm chaser Laura Rowe captured the picture of a lifetime on (May 17, 2021), with this fantastic shot of a mature supercell thunderstorm, illuminated at varying heights from the setting sun.

    I agree it is fantastic. I had seen this posted somewhere else and just looked at it in awe.

    I think I would have to question if that is actually a happy cloud, especially if I saw that in person..... Someone could easily add a flaming chariot coming out of that bottom cloud....

    Beautiful shot. I am glad we don't get that kind of weather here very often.
