Watch in full screen.

Some pics I took last summer.

Whoa!

Nice pics, too. Really not what we usually see here where I live.

The video (and I got bored and sped thru it in about 2 minutes) had many, many kinds of common clouds in it.
Remember that clouds are made of a lot of things (dust, tree pollen - that sort of thing) mixed with TONS of water vapor - that is all they are.

Now, their SHAPE is not really THEIR shape in a lot of instances. What I mean is, they are the shape they are due to air currents (which are driven partly by the terrain).

Now, the WALL cloud and anvil formations (as well as virga) ARE shaped by the activity within the cloud MORE than the surrounding air currents.

Nothing strange here, for example:
Freeze the video at 55 seconds - you have one guess what is causing THAT!
