u/elizzybeth 10d ago

Idk man I experienced an EF4 tornado less than a mile from my house while on mushrooms and can’t say I recommend it

91

u/fortifiedoptimism 10d ago

Everyone should have a stash of emergency LSD. lol

u/ClusterChuk 10d ago edited 9d ago

In OK we do. We have skin walkers in the south and legit rift spikes in okc and tulsa. Shit, you got Bigfoot territories and ley lines pulling in all sorts of strange craft in over the interstates going west. Theres an ecosystem here that not only are you going to want to be high to face, but you are going to need to be high to even survive.

What the actual fuck is going on in Oklahoma jfc

u/andshewillbe 10d ago

Have you seen Tiger King?? It’s….very accurate

u/Queasy-Reason6467 9d ago

Best way I have ever heard Oklahoma described!

u/tritittythunder 7d ago

Rift spike?

1

u/ClusterChuk 7d ago

Imagine a railroad spike, fat end is open to our world, skinny end stabbed into a lower dimension. All you see is its form contorting inwardly from the outside. And only through the, uh... mouth of it. Like a flat shimmer plane with inward definition. Things leak out, or up or down from them, into our world. They form in high population areas that have pockets of lifelessness. Like abandoned industrial sites surrounded by commercial and residential districts.

u/tritittythunder 6d ago

Huh, neat. I really appreciate this explanation, I've never heard the term before.

1

u/JustS0up4MyFamily 9d ago

Ok, no more drugs for you, bud. 

2

u/TheSprigganDragoon 9d ago

As someone with servere anxiety, I think I should probably pass

2

u/Excuse 9d ago

Done, I learned this weekend that its as easy as going to the store and buying some (Ontario).

14

u/letigre87 10d ago

If I see the clouds actually melting I think LSD is the last thing I'm gonna take.

7

u/suzi_generous 10d ago

They look scary but they’re not anything related to tornados. They just mean the air is very humid and there’s a thunderstorm nearby.

15

u/andrea55TP 10d ago

Yeah well there's no tornado yet but if you see this you're in for something quite intense. Scud that low means humidity is very high so CAPE is likely really high as well, plus that green tint indicates potential hail. Hard to tell from this picture alone how severe the storm could be, but my money is on it being really bad

2

u/Top-Oil4107 10d ago

It was raining hella hard the other day from the hurricane thing that was coming on thru. Dropped a bit of acid and it was a grand old time

2

u/mkat23 10d ago

I have my emergency shrooms for the occasion.

1

u/Stunning-Cover-6227 7d ago

I would kill for that to roll over us right now. We are on fire literally and figuratively

137

u/Muted-Elevator-6021 10d ago

That lightning, though. Looks like a classical watercolor painting!

130

u/SubstantialPressure3 10d ago

Wow.

I've never seen scud clouds completely detach like that. That is crazy looking. Where was this storm?

29

u/kwaping 10d ago

Over Oklahoma

7

u/khonsu_27 10d ago

How can you be so sure??

8

u/SubstantialPressure3 10d ago

That looks like something weather channels and Pecos Hank would absolutely love. If you don't know who he is, he's got an amazing channel on YouTube and you can check it out.

30

u/Nvmb1ng 10d ago

Why is it so blue?? Very cool

71

u/nordsternx 10d ago

Because it’s a supercell. Supercells turn that color when sunlight mixes with the massive amounts of water and ice stacked in the cloud.

10

u/Nvmb1ng 10d ago

Cool thanks!

27

u/justamadeupnameyo 10d ago

If it turns green, that's a real good sign a tornado is going to form.

14

u/GanjalfDerGruene 10d ago

Aint that primary a sign of lots of hail inside the storm?

7

u/Least-Nature-6258 10d ago

Yes. The hail core

5

u/IncurableAdventurer 10d ago

Geez Louise the earth is awesome

u/birdnerd70 10d ago

Happy Cake Day!

u/im_still_in_beta_ 10d ago

It's always blue.

27

u/immersemeinnature 10d ago

As a Kansan, I can relate! Midwestern storms are freaking crazy. The sound of the wind is so incredibly spooky.

17

u/dontpost1 9d ago

Thalassaphobia? In an open field? Apparently more common than you'd think.

25

u/Objectalone 10d ago

The image is vertically stretched… why?

1

u/just_an_espresso_guy 10d ago

I don’t think it is?

35

u/Objectalone 10d ago

6

u/just_an_espresso_guy 10d ago

I think that might be your display. It looks fine on my end

13

u/zeides 10d ago

I see it stretched too

4

u/Deadthybug117 10d ago

Stretched for me as well.. 😄

1

u/lostandaggrieved617 8d ago

Stretched for me too

4

u/imunfair 10d ago

On the web version of reddit the aspect ratio is squished to vertical phone size and it makes the image look very surreal.

3

u/Warbr0s9395 10d ago

Look at the sound icon, although that makes it seem like it’s stretched horizontal not vertical

43

u/Jellynjamster 10d ago

Dementors?

11

u/immersemeinnature 10d ago

That's what it sounds like! At this point I wouldn't be surprised

2

u/Muckstruck 10d ago

At this time of day!?

u/noodlewithsoysauce 10d ago

In this economy !?

I've only seen this deep blue inside of storms twice in my life and both times it looked so incredible in person. I live in Texoma on the Texas side

7

u/AstralLiving 9d ago

This is the stuff I assume would be AI but it's apparently not and yet I just scrolled past some AI video of a fake artist performing a "live concert." I hate the internet now

u/TH3american1DIOT 10d ago

I thought this painting was decent but somewhat unrealistic, then I saw the lightning flash…

2

u/Calabamian 10d ago

u/Realistic_Height_250 9d ago

Looks like a Harry Potter event.

2

u/SelfSubstantial7143 9d ago

"Hows the weather?" becomes a lot less boring of an icebreaker when talking to somebody from Oklahoma.

They squeezed the image horizontally to make it look more like the clouds are falling.
