APOD 2.5

I chose to write about the supercell thunderstorm over Montana mainly because it happened on Earth. However, just by looking at it, it is hard to tell that this is something that could actually occur on Earth because it looks like something out of a science fiction movie more than reality. It is several kilometers in diameter and can last for several hours. It can also create many tornadoes and release extremely large amounts of rain. In this picture the torrential downpour of rain appears more as mist, but at a closer look it can be seen that it is actually large amounts of rain pouring down from this one massive cloud.
