APOD 4.7 A Supercell Thunderstorm Cloud Over Montana

http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/ap130505.html

This astounding picture depicts a very massive storm in Montana, USA. The kind of thundercloud that is shown in the picture is known as a "Super Cell". I can see why, as it all looks confined to a small cell and looks rather ferocious on the inside. These storms can cause massive damage and even start tornadoes. I think it would be really cool to be able to see one in person, no matter how dangerous it could be.
