A colossal supercell thunderstorm cloud over Montana

The images below may seem like something from out of this world, but they are actually rare thunderstorm clouds called a supercells. The colossal storm systems center on mesocyclones, which are rotating updrafts that can span several kilometers and deliver torrential rain and high winds including tornadoes. The first of several superstorm images was photographed by Sean R. Heavey just west of Glasgow, Montana
