I expect to get a few more of these I live in a place where seeing these clouds happens a few times each year, but this one was pretty spectacular.

So that's how you call them I've taken a photo of similar clouds just over my house (it's in my gallery), but your shot is way better

Thanks, photographing these storms is as easy as not running for your life while facing a monster as big as the sky

This is true - as a retired combat photographer/videographer, things were NEVER as scary through the lens!
It's an inspiring shot for sure...

Surreal, we just have rain clouds here, a lot of them most of the time

"Surreal" yes, I'm told that our clouds in the midwest are some of the most spectacular in the world. They also breed more tornadoes than anywhere else in the world. I myself have been in 5 or 6 tornadoes, but never one that I actually got to see. A couple of them came at night. A couple more made the day as dark as night before they arrived (yes really as dark as midnight). One came in the middle of a rain/hale storm. I was looking out the window to the back yard, seeing the trees almost leaning to the ground in 100+ mile per hour wind, telling my wife and some guests that we should probably get in the basement. Just then my brother in law says, "your big willow tree just went." It was 50 feet tall, just about that distance from the window. I looked out in time to see it get ripped out by it's roots. So, yes, been in a lot of them, never saw the funnel damn it! This storm in the image only produced a little rain, I was expecting more!

Blimey if a single snow flake lands any where in the UK, we shut the whole country down. All my Polish friends laugh at us

Yes, I love seeing/photographing these, though anyone with any sense fears them.
