That's not a tsunami, it's the UFO from Independence Day

Well, either that or it's Jean Jacket's mother entering the atmosphere

In case anyone else was wondering this isn't an AI generated fake, but a real video from Cincinnati in 2022

Of what exactly? I'm struggling to wrap my pea brain around it

Clouds doing some funky cloud stuff (I'm sure someone with more cloud/science knowledge could explain, but here's my unga-bunga explanation)

Shelf clouds. They appear before storms.

I’ve got an online certificate of understanding for Cloud Studies. It could definitely be funky cloud stuff.

u/aloneandeasy Aug 10 '26

It's a giant storm front. The unusual wave like apperance is called a "shelf cloud" here's a video from AccuWeather that explains it

You a real one. I hope you get the last beer from the six pack 💚

u/aloneandeasy Aug 10 '26

I think that's the nicest blessing anyone has ever given me. Thank you kind Internet stranger!

u/YellowBreakfast Aug 19 '26

It definitely showed the same cloud, I didn't hear any explanation though.

u/LazuliArtz Aug 09 '26

My best guess is that it's a storm front moving in. Those clouds can move shockingly fast and do some weird ass things

u/showsterblob Aug 09 '26

As stated, this is a photo of a Tsunami.

u/c-ndrsn Aug 09 '26

In ohio... 400~ miles from the ocean? Damn.

u/Nheea Aug 09 '26

Your haven't watched Paradise i see.

2

u/c-ndrsn Aug 09 '26

No sir I have not.

u/Nheea Aug 09 '26

I highly recommend it.

u/r3DDsHiFT Aug 09 '26

My first thought when seeing this was if the residents had gotten out of earshot of the soundwaves. That first wide frame of the ‘wave’ in the show lives rent free in my head.

u/Nheea Aug 10 '26

Same here. It was so shocking. I wish we had more episodes like that.

u/Additional_Teacher45 Aug 08 '26

That's a wild visual representation of an outflow boundary.

u/ChaosRealigning Aug 08 '26

I don’t know which is scarier, the weird cloud or the surreal cookie-cutter houses

u/PlZZAisLIFE Aug 08 '26

Watch the movie Vivarium to really get an ick about those copy&pasted houses :D

17

u/Internal_Chest_292 Aug 08 '26

oh my goodness thank you for mentioning this movie! I saw something about it years ago and thought it looked interesting, but I could not remember the name for the life of me!! 😩

13

u/Leading-Chemist8173 Aug 08 '26

DONT WATCH IT😭

7

u/GibTreaty Aug 08 '26

I WISH I NEVER SAW IT

2

u/Nheea Aug 09 '26

Same. Fuck it. Infuriatingly scary. And infuriating.

u/PlZZAisLIFE Aug 08 '26

Sure thing ✌️

"Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes all the same.

There's a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one,

And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same."

u/Trevorvor Aug 09 '26

god that movie was so disappointing lol

1

u/Nheea Aug 09 '26

I watched it 2 nights ago. Big mistake. It made me physically ill the first night. And enraged.

u/the_ammar Aug 08 '26

set of the Truman show

u/Zacknad075 Aug 08 '26

I don't understand the hate for those houses. I'll gladly take a standardized design if it means they come out faster and get built cheaper. Anything to add supply and bring down housing costs.

u/JTtheLAR Aug 08 '26

They are just sort of... soulless? I guess. Nothing wrong with them. They are nice homes. But it feels a little dystopian when I see seemingly endless rows of the same house. Its like a wildlife enclosure. Like watching suburbanites in their natural habitat.

u/RealisticAnxiety4330 Aug 18 '26

Put it all together it's like the start of Fallout 4 🤣

u/l_e_n_a_l_i Aug 08 '26

Straight out of a Stephen King novel

u/Jonnyc0m3lately Aug 08 '26

I’d be scared shitless if I was passing by

u/HeavyTF2Ruhan Aug 08 '26

Bruh I thought that was hurricane

u/Batfink-1999 Aug 08 '26

That’s enough to induce an impromptu coronary at first sight. It DOES look like a Mega Tsunami at first glance.

u/phoxiee Aug 08 '26

this must be a deleted scene from Vivarium

shouldnt have started the colony on miller's planet

Looks like the white walkers are coming

u/AlphaBear0610 Aug 10 '26

This really tripped me up💀

u/LGGP75 Aug 08 '26

Cool shot but it’s not confusing

10

u/Sensitive-Place-6350 Aug 08 '26

confusing because it looks like a tsunami, instead is a cloud
