Description
Storms like this are a fire fighter's worst nightmare. The lightning from these heat-produced monster storms spark many wild land fires each summer. If you look closely you will see smoke rising up on the right side -- that is what is making this cloud boil. The technical name is "Pyrocumulonimbus" - a rare formation anywhere in the world! It produced lightning and a form of precipitation that does not reach the ground called "virga." What a treat to see this form of a thundercloud!
