I heard about this on NPR, but I haven't seen it. However, I think it's ridiculous to consider that we just haven't been able to see these clouds, but they've been there all along... that just doesn't make sense! Millions of people looking at the sky at any given moment, people's whole careers dedicated to studying the sky and cloud systems... and suddenly we are JUST NOW seeing this huge cloud system has been there all along?!? Not. Buying. It.
I'm jumping on the "it's related to the changes in our environment" bandwagon. Just wanted to make my official statement.

"Nance, The more I have looked at the clouds you posted puts me in mind about one day when I was nine or ten years old. My Aunt Mae lived with us all of her life. She was not able to work and live alone and we were lucky enough to have her with us. One day the sky looked that orange color all over not just clouds. Don't know how long it lasted but it seemed very long, even longer because of my age. My Aunt Mae decided the end of time was going to happen that day. I was worried sick because my family was not home-just the two of us. She was old fashioned in her thinking and some used the term "backward". She was wonderful! Well, I do not know what was going on that day..might have been some sort of an eclipse but it sure scared the dickens out of me. Just looking at the clouds brought back that memory to me."

I think you are lucky to have seen these clouds. They remind me of the artists that "paint" sand images with their hands on top of backlights. I'll keep looking.

Averie, Thanks for the kind thoughts. The picture...

Averie,
Thanks for the kind thoughts. The pictures appeared in The Atlantic and in The London Daily Telegraph. They are attributed in the body of the post, but thanks for reminding me; I've provided links to the originals at the bottom. Aren't they gorgeous?

We're out the door for a walk so i dont have time to read your whole prose but am just looking at the pics (like a 2 yr old would LOL). Anyway, are those really cloud pics you took with your own camera in SC? Damn girl. You need to be on StormTrackers or the Natl Geographic Photo Squad :)

They are beautiful, as are you, for real. Thank You Nance for always being the wonderful person you are.

xoxo
