Never seen clouds like these. Reminded me of Starry Night at first haha.
Are they only in certain regions?
They’re pretty rare, I’ve only seen them one time, and my grandma in northern Ontario only ever saw them once in her 80+ years.
It was such an event in her town that everyone went out to the street to see. When I saw them I also went into the street to take it in, but I didn’t see anyone else enjoying it
Apparently they’re more common in the US plain states (not sure what they include)
Saw them often when I lived in Oklahoma
Isn't this the global warming cloud? As in this type of cloud is becoming much more common due to global warming.
Wouldn’t surprise me... Ontario weather is becoming increasingly like the us midwest with tornadoes.
