Turns Out There’s A Dedicated Community For Sharing Pics Of Extraordinary Weather Conditions And Phenomena, And Here Are 50 Of The Best Ones
A patchy drizzle, a snowstorm in the middle of December, a foggy morning and a burst of clear sunshine on that fine Friday afternoon – are all common and equally vital events that happen daily in our atmosphere.
Weather is a very influential thing that affects our lives on a day-to-day basis. Think about it – it determines our mood, picks the choice of attire we're going to wear, decides if the plans we've established will be enjoyable in the given circumstances, or whether it's a good idea to carry them out in general.
More extreme weather events like tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, and floods can put individuals in risky circumstances, where they may lose their homes and family members or suffer potentially fatal injuries; however, we can all agree that seeing certain phenomena, even if it's just a giant spark in the sky, can leave you pondering how intimidatingly impressive our world is.
Well, as it turns out, there's a dedicated online community that shares a wide range of weather images, and today, Bored Panda has collected a couple of its best ones.

I live on the East Coast, less than 30 miles from the ocean. We may get hurricanes, but at least they give you a lot of warning that they may be coming your way, so you have time to prepare for them. Tornadoes, nope. Earthquakes, nope. Tidal waves, nope. Volcanoes, ehhh maybe. Depends. Some have been known to just blow. Even though hurricanes can wipe out just about everything and send it out to sea—-even change geography by shifting huge amounts of sand to create new beaches or cut new inlets—-at least I can batten down the hatches, grab my husband, pets, paperwork, sentimental items, and valuables, stuff everyone and everything in the car, and hightail it TF out of here well in advance.

So stunning, can look at them all day! I flew through two clouds while skydiving. One was a rain cloud and it looked crystalline/dewy inside with a small dark center-that was awesome. The second time was when I was going into my landing pattern and a huge cumulous cloud drifted over the dropzone. That was scary, as I couldn't see the ground or if divers where ahead of me or anything. It was as if I was stuck in a ball of cotton, but I just followed the pattern and hoped for the best. The size of clouds are unbelievably enormous, and the experience of flying through them is one I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world. :)
