Looks like the head and shoulders of a giant. As it dissipates reminds me of a Sci Fi momment, scary.:$
Amazing! It’s like the tornado and something i want to know that will it make any raindrops?
Amazing cloud and frankly would scare the beejesus out of me if I saw it. Any other sitings like this? Do we have a name for it yet? Great picture!
