“If we Texans get just an itty bit of a cloud, we all say it is a thunderstorm coming,” says Ron. This little Cumulus fractus over Waco, Texas, US offered no chance of rain, of course. Last summer, Ron tells us, they had over 92 days without a drop. And if you look closely, you might see the cloud appears to be trying to knock the Sun down with a hammer.

A remarkable shot, Tom.
This is the first example of sun dust and sun pillar that I have seen. What a sight this must have been for you to have captured this and share with us.
Thanks kindly.
