This is widely seen on the Internet and is commonly said to be a shelf cloud produced by Hurricane Irene as it approached the North Carolina coast. I have no idea who took the picture and I'm unable to track down which site originated the picture. It's all over Facebook.

If anyone knows who the credit for the photo should go to, please feel free to let everyone know.

"I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It’s not on any chart, You must find it with your heart."

Albert Einstein - "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Martin Luther King Jr. - “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

Mark Twain - “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Are you sure this isn't from Independence Day? Just it looks soooooo like Shocked

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

That looks like a capsized boat from underwater Shocked

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
