I like the third one the best.
Good composition.
The water tower really makes the picture.

those clouds are insane! I don't think i've ever seen those on the US East Coast.

We saw those clouds here in Indiana as well. They were not as good as my friend's photos (she also lives in MN), but they were still awesome. I watch the clouds a lot and I had never seen this type of formation. It was so awesome!

wow, #3 is the best, but that is by far one of the most wicked formations I have seen.

They are some awesome clouds to see. I was just taking some quick shots, glad they turned out so good. I like the water tower shot also

I have a few from that storm too. Too bad they were from my garage and there is powerlines running through them. You live in or near osseo?

Another Minnesotan here...wow...crazy clouds...thank you so much for sharing these...they make me feel really small whenever I see them...and perhaps a little spooked...but don't tell anyone...

i thought you were pulling my leg. Those look like marshmallows.

AgentDrex · Jun 2, 2011

Those are definately NOT marshmallows...as kids, we called those "booby clouds"...when you see these clouds...happy is not on your mind...going inside where its safe may be a better choice...
