	Iowa Clouds

Posted by: LynnPeterson, 3:48 AM GMT on June 12, 2009

New Cloud Type?I saw this picture online (from the Associated Press), and the caption suggests that this type of cloud has yet to be identified. Now, I know I've seen these kinds of clouds before. I always assumed they were Mammatus Clouds. How are these Iowa clouds different than Mammatus?Thanks!

	funnel clouds and no tornado warnings

Posted by: LynnPeterson, 7:33 PM GMT on July 27, 2006

	dinosaur sculpture

Posted by: LynnPeterson, 7:04 PM GMT on April 20, 2006

I've seen this dinosaur along I90 in South Dakota. It's in a field next to the 1880 Town in Murdo, SD. I tried to take a picture, but this one is much better from Grossmutti. Anyway, does anybody know the story of this dinosaur? Who's is it? Who made it? Is it related to the story of Sue in any way? Since the dinosaur is being walked West, do you suppose the sculpture asks for Sue to be returned to SD? Oh and where can I get one of these!
