A wide range of contrails and dispersement as a result of varying atmospheric conditions, such as humidity, temperature, wind shear, and atmospheric and aircraft-induced turbulence. The clouds that are formed are done so via homogenitus and are dispersed wider in conditions of high humidity and high wind shear. This expansive display was captured by Ted Burrows over Lexington, Virginia, US.

I followed this storm in May of 2015 from Lubbock, Texas, to the east about 30 miles down State Highway 40. It produced a massive amount of rain and hail. It also produced a couple of tornados which I could not get close enough to photograph because of the high water left.
